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

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.

You're very welcome!    and thank you♡

I think the safest thing to do would be to have your doctor order bloodwork for your hormones. My hormone treatments are managed by a bioidentical hormone therapy doctor, and I get my bloodwork done about three times a year to monitor the levels. I take prescription progesterone pills that my OBGYN manages for me.

I also had issues with slightly high testosterone. When I was a teenager, my testosterone levels were very high. Not really sure why they changed or when they changed, but my problem now is high estrogen and low progesterone (as opposed to just high estrogen).

Feel free to ask me any other questions. I have done a lot of research on hormones since I first started considering hormone replacement therapy.
