Hormone fluctuations

Ok - so I had been on the pill for nearly 15 years with a couple times going off it for a few months to see if my migraines would let up.  Then once DH & I decided to go for it, I got pg right away.  Once my postpartum hormones wore off & I was back to having AF every month, I decided not to go back on the pill to be a little more natural & to see if my cycles would even out.  Well, while the cycle is now normal, I feel crazy the week before AF arrives.  Not out of control crazy, but definitely "off," bitchy, depressed & just unpredictably moody.   I really don't like feeling like this at all.  Besides going back on the pill to regain my sanity for 1 week of the month, what else can I try?

No problem! I know the first go to always seems to be evening primrose oil. My friend is studying chiropractic and holistic medicine told me something to watch with it I thought, but I cannot remember now... I'll have to ask her again. 

I'm sure something on that list can help. I know how horrible it is. Maybe even the feverfew for you since you said you suffer from headaches too!

nope you're all good. She said the advice in this article if followed is great! she said to make sure to take or get extra Omega 3's if you do choose to take the Evening Primrose Oil though! That's all.

Nursing women can't do evening primrose oil.  Be careful!

I think I'm about to try acupuncture to try to get my cycles evened out.  Well, maybe to get a cycle (still have no AF, just crazy hormones).
