Sensitivity to the wrong hormones

[perfectisolation]

So I'm ovulating right now
how can i tell? I smell copper. and stale cigarettes.
And everything under my skin is burning, especially 'down there'.
And I'm feeling pretty antsy right now!! hyper in an irritated way.
And this 'electric' feeling inside my brain.
I guess it's become regulated again.. sigh. it really does happen every month and that is how i know. It's just something i know.

When I told my therapist about this tho, he said no ftm has ever mentioned this.
Then is it just me? Am I just being a hypochondriac? Am I exaggerating this? Am I making it up in my head?


Do any of you mtf or ftm, get problems like this? So sensitive to your natural hormones that it drives you nuts???

Share with me your experiences!

I've gotten much more sensitive to smells.
Anything greasy being fried makes me sick.
Smokers with cigarette-y clothing knocks me over.
(Of course being within 20 feet of somebody actually smoking is out of the question.)
People with poor hygiene are the worst.

I have a little problem to answer your question but just because I don't know the english term.
I usually know when I'm ovulating, because I feel pain in my ovaries. Instead I don't feel nothing when I have my period (and it's not good, because I have always fear to get dirt <.<).
I usually feel a lot really depressed just before the period, anyway. I'm really sensible to female hormones.

I just feel the natural fluctuations in the pain-threshold department.
Estrogen raises your tolerance to pain.
During Ovulation, you can take a lot of it.
During Menstration, you're... well... a boy about it.

Right now, everything hurts, a lot!
