I know that b.c. pills consist mainly of estrogen and they are linked to worsened depression in many users. Then again, they also contain progesterone... geez, I give up. I've never completely understood female hormones. Now that you mention it, progesterone is the dominant hormone in the 2nd half of the menstrual cycle which is also the time that PMS occurs. And b.c. pills artificially replicate that "just ovulated" state to keep the patient from ovulating, thus perpetually keeping her in a high progesterone state... Sorry - I've gotten far away from the original testosterone topic.
