Summary:
1. Gaining Weight
If you seem to be gaining weight, especially in the hip area, it’s a sign your body is producing too much estrogen. Even an inability to get rid of fat would suggest you need your estrogen levels checked. If your estrogen level isn’t balanced, your body will feel bloated as well.

2. Swollen Or Tender Breasts
Your first indication of changes in hormones would be your breasts. During your monthly cycle, you might have noticed your breasts become tender at some point. In fact, you now know what to expect when your breasts are sore.

3. Fibrocystic Breasts
When the tissue in your breast changes quality, whether it becomes lumpy or is more like a rope, you could be experiencing fibrocystic breasts. An additional sign would be pain or tenderness in your breasts whenever you touch them, usually at the top, or the sides.

4. Irregular Periods
There are a number of reasons for irregular periods. One reason is high estrogen levels.

5. Heavier Periods
Along with irregularity in your periods, if you find that they’re heavier than usual, it’s usually because of hormonal imbalance.
