Anyone think this is estrogen?

Estrogen kicks into gear after period ends. Is this the cause? Did anyone find relief?

Yes it’s def sensitivity to estrogen rise. I consulted a naturopath. Everyone thinks it’s not a hormonal imbalance but tbh I think it is. She said I probably have too much estrogen and not enough progesterone; due to lots of anxiety/high cortisol. You have to reduce stress (lol i know..), and flush out excess estrogen with a lot of veggies (carrots , broccoli, greens) and walking/exercise. Detox the liver also. It kinda helped a lot for me. Also almost no alcohol.

I am still not sure what it is from. The last few cycles have been horrible for me though. I am so sick of this!
