Yes it sounds very much like your Progesterone. I take Oestrogen twice a day at 10pm and 10am and Progesterone at night. I have never taken any blockers. My latest assay tests has my testosterone in my system as just under 0.52 nmol/l.(normal female levels), with my Oestrogen levels at 163 pg/ml . I am getting my Progesterone levels checked next week.
Originally I was on Progesterone continually, but whilst a lot of things were very welcome (more visceral fat on the buttocks, hips and thighs, bigger upper pole breast tissue, better libido and much more pronounced aureole , I found it very cloying and for the last three months have been on a cycle of Day 1-16 Oestrogen only and Day 16-30 Oestrogen and Progesterone. But I now get PMS like issues around the 15th of every month. Finding myself, moody, lower abdomen pain and very tender breasts. After 1-2 days back on Progesterone everything is back to normal.
One thing to note though that I have found is that if for a few days I don't get to take my Oestrogen , I get nightly sweats. My endo says that suggests too low oestrogen (like post menopausal women).
When I got that last December, my Endo doubled my dose for a few weeks.
