I am another lucky soul who is ruled by my hormones. I have suffered two severe episodes of postpartum depression/anxiety (am currently going through one now) and have the same problem as you around ovulation time. I get very anxious and suffer insomnia for a few days. My doc doesn't want to put me on Alesse until he gets my antidepressent meds adjusted. Ask your doc for a complete hormone profile, including thyroid, estrogen, testosterone, progesterone levels. I had one when the depression started and my thyroid and estrogen were low. I don't know about you but I am so confused as to which treatment approach would be best- hormonal or psychotropic meds. I just keep trying everything in hopes of feeling normal again.
