Period early again! Headaches, can't sleep, bloated!

I guess the early period again explains the migraines and lack of sleep past few days.

Sorry to sound like a broken record. I guess now I try the chaste berry and actually STICK to it full time now. I was in denial ... I'm not even 40 sad But if I'm NOT peri at the very least I must be estrogen dominant?

I'm soo bloated today too sad

Soo sorry again.

Can I ask why I don't get any patient notifications anymore to subscribed threads?

I looked in my settings but can't figure it out...

      chasteberry or vitex works on bringing up progesterone if its low and also metabolising estrogen to normal levels, so in essense a good balancer, and it works on the adrenals i belive, so alleviate the mental state too.

    You don't sound like a broken record at all. I was feeling good for a few days after my cycle and now the last two days have been back with the weirdness. I'm going to a new GYN tomorrow and they better not tell me I'm too young cause I am tired of that line. All this weirdness has to be peri or like you said. VERY estrogen dominant. Today has been rough for me too but I'm hanging on. We will get through it. Let me know how the chaste berry works out for.

      hi jamie.

      laSt time i took vitex/chasteberry for only 2 weeks my cycle came on time and was a normal length, from memory it was still heavy but it wasnt early like it has been. 

      im on day 4 now, so far soo good, period not excessive .

      Jamie if in fact we both are suffering estrogen dominance then thats a world of problems on its own, soon as you see your new gyno get him to test for that.

      the vitex should raise progesterone and offset any inbalance irrespective. plus it works on stress related issues

      the testimonials id read of women who'd NOT had periods for months have it return upon starting vitex.

      AS A DOUBLE BONUS.. id read many women had breasts get bigger after vitex! i need that!!!
