Decreased sex drive 
Irregular or otherwise abnormal menstrual periods*
Bloating (water retention)*
Breast swelling and tenderness*
Fibrocystic breasts 
Headaches (especially premenstrually) 
Mood swings (most often irritability and depression)*
Weight and/or fat gain (particularly around the abdomen and hips)*
Cold hands and feet (a symptom of thyroid dysfunction)*
Hair loss 
Thyroid dysfunction*
Sluggish metabolism 
Foggy thinking, memory loss*
Fatigue*

Estrogen dominance has also been linked to allergies*, autoimmune disorders,* breast cancer, uterine cancer, infertility, ovarian cysts,* and increased blood clotting, and is also associated with acceleration of the aging process. - See more at: http://www.drnorthrup.com/estrogen-dominance/#sthash.Ffu9I8PY.dpuf


I starred the ones that were big issues for me that improved once I started bioidentical hormone therapy. The article by Dr. Northrup also gives suggestions on how to naturally decrease estrogen dominance.

Here is a really good article if you want to get into the nitty gritty of estrogen and progesterone. https://www.drlam.com/blog/estrogen-dominance-part-1/1704/

Feel free to ask any questions! I will tell you all I know Smile

Thank you for your helpful reply and for the links, Pink Chiffon (super cute name!).
I actually have some of those symptoms but I'm sure I'm not estrogen dominant. Actually, I tend to have more testosterone.....I'll take a better look at the second article you just posted :-)
i wanted to know the symptoms of estrogen dominance/low progesterone for the future, in case I decide to take supplements that could alter hormones...

Id92, I heard you need to be really careful about using PC. You need to be 100% that your body needs it before using it.
