Low levels of progesterone decrease serotonin, which can cause poor sleep and depression. Also, diminished amounts of progesterone prevent the balancing of the stimulating effects of estrogen and can lead to anxiety. ... When serotonin is low anxiety, insomnia, poor mood and depression can occur. so don't worry be relaxed and calm and take your treatment.. you feel the same way u think.. so think. good and positive
