I really would suggest having a full hormone panel done so that instead of guessing by symptoms you know for sure which direction your hormones lean so you can then plan a program for yourself. In between the test my doctor has done for me I also use a medical lab that does a complete panel for 140. I decided I wanted to really see this round exactly what was happening with my body. In fact I'm expecting some results any day now that I did days before starting the pm to have a baseline. Also, I too have had headaches while I was on the pm first cycle. For me if I rubbed estriol cream on my face the headache went away fast. I pay 15 for the cream. So you see estrogen dominance and estrogen deficiency share some of the same symptoms so it can make it hard to figure out which one is the issue other than trial and error or better yet testing. I've been on both sides of the fence and other than my heada hes, I couldn't tell them apart.
