Low progesterone and panic attacks?

Question

Hey all I'm looking for advice/insight on panic attacks related to the time of periods. I have a pretty set 28 day cycle, within the past year my general anxiety has been sky rocketing about 3 days before I start and off and on during and then vanishes until the next period. But during these few days I have almost constant panic attacks if not using medication. Have any of you ladies been to the doctor for this? Could it be from low progesterone? I will be setting up an appointment soon, just wondering if this could be an issue. Also my SO and I have been ttc could the low progesterone play a part in that?

Answer

Thanks so much will do

Answer

I don’t think a obgyn will help other than trying to give you anxiety meds . Def see a hormone specialist if you can to draw blood . Or look up Barbra Hoffman on YouTube about progesterone

Answer

Around my O time and then before AF I have constant panic attacks and worry. In August, I woke up at 4am on the dot for a week straight with crumpling panic attacks. I see a therapist for GAD and panic attacks. He said it can happen around the time of our hormones fluctuating. There isn’t much we can do about it other than just keep on keepin on the best we can. I do take meds for my anxiety everyday. I am 2DPO and TTC as well. Baby dust!! It’s so hard having these issues to begin with, let alone the fear of not getting pregnant and MCs. I’ve had 3 losses in less than a year. Hopefully this is my month.
