Yup, that sounds about right. It varies with me, probably because I'm in my 40's now and things are getting wacky, but I need up to twice the insulin (both basal and bolus) when I get hormonal. Honestly, it drives me nuts, and the next time I see my endo I'm going to ask for metformin. Some people use birth control pills to tame the hormonal rollercoaster.
