I was at the grocery store today and on a whim just decided to buy progesterone cream.
I don't really know why I bought it and I'm probably going to return it lol. I have been pretty against taking PC because I have not had a hormone panel done and I think that it leads to imbalances more often in women than balancing out the hormones. Vitex has been what i have always taken because it does not work directly on progesterone levels in the body.
Buttt yesterday, I was doing some more thinking... I have gotten a lot of growth this month from balancing out my hormones and I wonder if I have been progesterone deficient and that is what is causing my estrogen dominance and adrenal issues.
I have all 7/7 of these symptoms and it just makes sense that my progest levels would be low, but it's so hard to tell because there are so many overlapping symptoms with different hormone imbalances.

I might just need to cave and buy a hormone test. I am not going to use the PC right now- I start my period in a few days anyways. I might just see how my period goes and possibly start taking my vitex earlier rather than on day 15 since vitex helps encourage ovulation.
If anyone has thoughts to share please do
