Yesterday I was still very anxious, although the period has stopped, so I just made a try- I took one capsule Utrogest, oral after the dinner. After one hour I noticed a switch in my mood- less and less anxious, more and more relaxed, the permanent knot in my stomach disappeared. I was also very nervous about the pituitary tests today in the hospital, but I went totally calm to bed! I don't know if this is just coincidentally, or maybe low progesterone is the main cause for my anxiety, or it's just so that estrogen needs progesterone to work for me?
Today I woke up only mild nervous, without the anxious knot in my stomach and even during the examination at the hospital I didn't get the anxiety! The only thing I notice is that I feel somehow sad and I could cry easily. This could also be because of the huge stress during the tests. Or maybe progesterone itself?
If I knew that progesterone is the key to get rid of the anxiety, I would take it for 3 weeks in the cycle, not only 12 days, but if P is making me depressed, anxiety is a minor problem compared to depression...
What do you think? My other gyno told me ( she is a woman) that Utrogest COULD make us depressed, ( it's also written on the package leaflet) but her boss ( male) said to me that progesterone is actually a mood elevator. So, who has right? Sigh...
