Abstract
In women with premenstrual syndrome, negative changes start soon after ovulation, gradually increasing as the corpus lutem develops, and reach a maximum during the last 5 days of the luteal phase. They decline rapidly once menstruation starts, disappearing within 1 or 2 days of ovarian steroids reaching baseline levels. Positive moods are at maximum when preovulatory estradiol reaches its peak. A comparison of hormone levels in women with high and low degress of cyclical mood change showed no difference in progesterone, estradiold, testosterone or androstenedione.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
