kateandlisaLet’s Talk Estrogen and Progesterone
When you have estrogen issues and low progesterone, their symptoms can overlap – PMS, cramps and luteal phase mood swings. You can have both things happening at once. Here are some distinct signs and symptoms for each:
High Estrogen and/or estrogen metabolism issues:
- Fibroids
- Ovarian Cysts
- Endometriosis
- Period Clots
- Purple-ish period blood
- Gut issues
- Breast tenderness
Low Progesterone:
- Cramps or pain
- Long cycle – >36 days
- Short cycle – <24 days
- Irregular cycles
- Short Luteal Phase
- Fertility issues
- Brown bleeding
- Luteal phase spotting
Low progesterone can worsen issues because it is needed to balance out estrogen 
in the second half of our cycle. A Functional Lab test can be used to understand what your hormone levels are and how they are working in your body. You can acquire more information than the regular blood testing that is usually obtained. From the results of the Functional Lab test, we can work on some simple shifts that will help to heal your symptoms.
When we understand and heal the root cause you can take a targeted approach to healing that works for your unique situation and goals. Then, you can start feeling better – usually within a short period of time.
