Can being late with hormone dosing make you crazy?

[Leslie36369]

Ok, so I've been dating a girl for a short period of time who transition early. She has estrogen pellets implanted and they are suppose to last around 4 months. When we first me she told me that arpund 3 months she can feel them start to wear off. She intends on discussing this with her doctor, but she was forced to reschedule. So more or less she has no hormones at all at the moment. She has almost zero testosterone per Orchiectomy and she missed her progesterone when it arrived. So now basically on nothing.

So the first week was the best week i've had with a girl I think ever since I started dating. I could notice mild mood swings and I assumed it was the hormonal imbalance. Then in week 2 it has gotten out of control. From insulting me and telling me I could never fully care about her to begging me not to leave. Non stop fighting and arguing. Normally, I would just say screw it because its only been a couple weeks, but I know that the hormones have to be playing a huge role.

So, I guess my question is, while I know I can never be sure, is it likely that this is mostly hormonal or should I just break it off. I would had to make a decision and end things and then it level its self out completely once she gets her hormones.

Is there any advice anyone can lend?

Thank you

I was 43 years late with my hormones and it was making me really crazy.

In all seriousness, it sounds like the hormones are likely to blame.  If she's still acting odd after she gets her dose, then you have your answer about her.

I agree that a hormone imbalance could be the cause, but from what you describe she could also have an underlying psychological disorder (being dismissive and insulting to your significant other one moment and begging them not to leave you the next, is a symptom of borderline personality disorder)

That was my next thought actually. I know there is know way to know for sure until the pellets, but would you wait if it were you? I don't want to make something bad worse by feeding into it anymore in hopes it will go away. I just can't know cause I don't know the other side.

I would like to throw in I can be somewhat of an antagonist when I am provoked. So I am not completely without blame. In fairness to her.

I would let her know my concerns about her behavior, and how it affects me. I would also suggest that she see a therapist to learn how to cope with and manage her symptoms, but I wouldn't mention anything about a possible psychological disorder; I would leave it up to a professional to come to that conclusion. 

All you can do is work on you, and it's up to her to do her part.  Decide what your boundaries are and go from there.  Best wishes...

My wife and I are both on estrodiol.  After her hysterectomy,  the woman I knew of 20 years turned into mrs. Jekyll!  I begged her to get to the drs and get on hormones and she is normal again;)
A year later after I've been on estradiol a year, my Dr blew me off and I ran out of estradiol.  I could feel something bad in me.  I tried to control it, but my wife said I was mean to her.  I feel bad about it and still don't even know how I was mean.  I took the shots and an hour later, all was calm;)
Its definitely the hormones.   If you have been together a while, you will know..
