Both of these synthetic hormones will lower your already low progesterone level. I had a hysterectomy and my doctor says that I don't need progesterone because I don't have a uterus. But I am having problems with the estrogen treatment. You need to be treated with natural estrogen and natural progesterone. Just as with PMS, postpartum depression is not really understood.
Postpartum depression is a condition of progesterone deficiency after the birth of a baby.
This condition is not a psychiatric condition although the severity may be such that it appears to be psychiatric. The procedure either cuts off blood supply to the ovaries lowering progesterone levels or damages the progesterone receptors. You can be treated with natural progesterone. I was told this would solve my problems. The hysterectomy lowered your progesterone level.
