We've all experienced some form of PMS before! It's soooo common but that doesn't mean it's NORMAL! Moderate to severe PMS is the result of a hormonal imbalance.

Here's what we get into:

• You produce estrogen in your follicular phase (the phase after your period)
• You produce progesterone in your luteal phase (because ovulation creates progesterone & your luteal phase is after ovulation)
• Progesterone declines midway through your luteal phase if you're not pregnant & this drop in hormones  causes your period to come.
• Moderate to severe pms is from imbalances in the luteal phase. Specifically estrogen to progesterone imbalance. 
• When you have PMS you experience a sharp decline in progesterone 3-5 days before period rather than a gradual decline.

A FEW SIGNS OF LOW PROGESTERONE:

• Pre period spotting
• Short luteal phase
• Cervical mucus week before your period

EPISODES REFERENCED:
