Anyone else totally antisocial? I love people love company but I can't stand others now and yes that includes my children and partner and thats what is killing me. Like properly cant stand then and so short tempered. It breaks my heart but I cant help it. Bloody hormones. Mind u doesnt help when your partner tells u you r sick every day and probably making it up. I am still fuming. Cant even look at him.

Yip I was the same as you get into regime and settled so will this xx

This too will pass. Your Partner needs to understand that Hormonal upheavals are out of our control!

Thanks ladies xx 20months and its still going on. First time on the progesterone its horrible and I am only takin half the dose. Roll on day 26! I have even upped my oestrogen and going to four pumps tonight really hope it works or something is going to blow. If it wasnt for my kids I would be away

Sorry to hear this tinkerbell some people never understand how bad hormones can make us feel even some woman never mind men. My first month on utro I felt rubbish I am now 4 or 5 months in I can't remember lol but I am really good on it now maybe your system just needs to get used to the utro and it will get better each month like it has with me. The good thing for me is I'm single and I didn't have to see or be bothered with anyone when I felt antisocia...this to should get better it really takes time hang in there big hugs xx

Two pumps this morning and will do two tonight. Hopefully better in the morning. CLKD vodka in my tea lol xx

I'm pretty sure high progesterone / low oestrogen is the cause - like in PMT. I'm sure we've all had this symptom!
When I trialled the progesterone only pill I found myself sneering at people on the TV (even more than usual) and when my phone rang, being relieved it was only a PPI call.

Thanks dangermouse xx heres the thing on previous hrt some of my symptoms were itcjy boobs and soles of my feet. When I started on the gel this went away immediately. It has come back today so does low oestrogen high progesterone cause this or is the oestrogen too high. I am confused!!
-
Probably low oestrogen.

Progesterone and oestrogen antagonise each other so the progesterone may have lowered the oestrogen. Sometimes different symptoms are experienced depending on how extreme the fall in hormones is, so a rapid plummet might cause itching (I know I get this on certain days when there is a big fall/change) but more ongoing imbalance might cause the antisocial feelings.
It is hard to know for sure as other hormones will come into play at certain points (adrenaline, cortisol, thyroxine, serotonin etc.), so it's about tweaking to the point you can cope with the level of symptoms.
