What is Progesterone?
Progesterone, also referred to as P4, is a steroid hormone that plays a role in the menstrual cycle, pregnancy and the formation of embryos.

Recent studies show that women with PMDD have an increased sensitivity to this particular hormone and experience increased activity in the emotional center of the brain.
Much like some people drink alcohol and
become happy while others become angry
