Emotional support on progesterone?

Advice Needed!

I need hugs and advice.

I really struggle with the progesterone portion of IVF. I feel great on estrogen, but we recently cancelled a cycle since my lining didn’t thicken, so I stopped estrogen and did a PIO shot to get my body back to cycle.

I can feel my mood deteriorating as my estrogen drops and progesterone rises. I’m not sleeping well, I feel so irritable and sensitive. My rational mind knows it’s the hormones but my emotional mind doesn’t care and feels like all the things upsetting me are real.

I have a therapist I love. I have a very supportive partner. I eat healthy, I work out regularly. I don’t drink.

Has anyone found any supplements or anything that have helped soften the blow of progesterone? Magnesium? Anything else?
