I found a study on American Journal of Psychiatry that did a test on women with pms and bulimia. If given a dose of progesterone 14 days before start of period, then bulimic episodes and calorie consumption was reduced. I'm going to see my doctor!

I believe Yaz is supposed to help with the food cravings some. If you can handle birth control pills, try it!This study had mega amounts of progesterone and that might be because it was the only study done so far that directly links the two disorders, so there's got to be better results sooner or later with more studies and more hormonal options.
