As a solution I am thinking about progesterone cream, maybe it can work, if indeed it is estrogen dominance causing this?
Hello Mandy.
I think you're correct about pm putting you into estrogen dominance. As Byrony mentioned, perhaps you're very sensitive to pm, rather than the cause being you happen to be taking pm whilst having abnormally high estrogen levels.
As far as resolving the unpleasant side-effects I think it's possible over time you may become acclimated to the mental effects pm has on you and thus are able to sleep normally again. I do think using progesterone cream would be a good idea for minimizing the physical symptoms you're experiencing.
As far as your pm dosage goes, I think what matters most is whether you're getting the physical and mental effects you desire without incurring any unpleasant side-effects. If 250 mg or 500 mg of pm is all you need, I don't think there is anything wrong with that. It's possible over time you may build up a tolerance to pm and have to increase your dosage. Until that happens, I say take the dosage that works for you and give progesterone cream a try with resolving your physical symptoms.
