I can't answer your question but I can tell you what I learned. I'm working with wellness clinic and doctor who specialize in bioidentical hormones. Along with hcg, I'm on a half-dose of testosterone to get me back into the normal range and help maintain muscle mass while on hcg. I plan to go onto a full dose once hcg diet runs its course.
During discussions with the doc, I talked at length about my wife's symptoms. Based on input from him, and from literature I've been reading, I do think she's suffers from 'estrogen dominance' as its termed in the literature. Basically, progesterone low. Moody, super cranky monthly, has not gained weight but works out like a hamster 24/7. Low sex drive (nonexistent most of the time). I don't know what's in store when I get home have the time due to unpredictability of her mood swings. She also complains about feeling bloated (she's 5'4" and 115lbs), tired and just 'old.' The only treatments that have helped her are acpuncture and chinese herbs, but these treatments seem to only mask symptoms since they always return.
She'll be seeing my doctor soon for bloodwork and a bioidentical hormone regimen.
Look for a doctor that has access to pharmaceutical compounding and specializes in bioidentical hormones. You might also want to ready Somer's books like Sexy Forever. Lots of good info in there for the ladies.
