Are night sweats a sign of early menopause?




This has only started happening to me recently. Sometimes I am so soaked that I have to change my clothes! And I’m only 40! Isn’t that a little young to start having menopause symptoms?

It’s really disgusting, too. Is there anything I can do to make them stop? I am going through a divorce right now, so I’m sleeping alone for the time being. But I’m sure I’ll be sharing my bed again at some point in the future, and I don’t want to sweat all over him! Ick!




I’ve just started using Progesterone suppositories while ttc. I have tried vaginally and rectally and found both ways to be very messy. Any suggestions on time of day or anything to keep the mess down? I have to use them 2x a day. Thanks!







i’m very concern of my menstrual cycle recently. I’ve missed my period for 38 days now an i know i’m not pregnant. I never had an irregular period before although a couple of months back i’ve had a shorther menstrual cycle. I’m not on pills or antyhing. I’ve read about perimenopause. I think i have some of the symptoms e.g irregular heartbeat, dificullity to concentrate, hot flushes during the day. But i’m only 33 this year and i dont have any children yet..i wonder if at this age i could get perimenopause ? If so..am i still fertile..? Help..!!
Also..sometimes i feel bloated in my tummy and somethings is wrong with my digestion system although i eat regularly. For information..my mum had her menopause at the age of 58.




Why do I keep having Night Sweats?




for the past 4 or 5 nights I’ve been having night sweats. Its usually closer to when I wake up in the morning and I’m drenched in sweat and im usually freezing cold. Its not like I’m too hot because I only have one blanket on most usually. This has happened for the past week pretty much…
does anyone know why this is happening?
i’m 16 btw




Thanks.




I’m 30 weeks with twins and my face just got really hot and I felt a little like I was going to pass out. I’m not doing anything right now, just sat down relaxing watching tv and looking on here.

I’m already on iron tablets and have been since I was 12 weeks, and I’m also on an increased dose (5mg rather than 400mcg) of folic acid every other day (because taking it every day made me too ill).

Other than anaemia, which is not possible, plus I had blood tests done 2 weeks ago for that and haemoglobin, what could it be?

I had an appointment on Monday and nothing was wrong then.

I’m sure I was having a Braxton Hicks contraction at the same time too. It’s mostly discomfort in my back when I get them and sometimes in my stomach as well. I’m having twins so when I get it in different places, I get a different type of contraction. Sounds weird I know, but it’s true lol

I’m just so confused as I wasn’t doing anything and I’ve never had it happen to me before except when I was having my bloods done at 12 weeks when I nearly passed out due to a fear of needles.

what is perimenopause?







Ofcourse there is so much negative about hormone replacement therapy…I am considering a "natural" HRT. Can you gals out there give me your thoughts on this?

Provera???




How long after starting provera should you start your period? What happens if you don’t start? Does provera help you get pregnant?
This is 10 mg pills to make me start. I take 1 a day for 10 days. Will I Ovulate before I start?

Birth Control and hormonal imbalance and hair loss.?




If I was losing a lot of hair due to hormonal imbalance and my hormonal imbalance was caused by discontinuing my birth control pill and It has been about 6 months since i last took birth control pills. If I start taking the pills again will that stop my hair loss.




I have been taking Ketorac for tooth pain, and a few days after I started, I have experienced vaginal dryness, which leads to pain during urination and is generally uncomfortable as it is. Is it possible that it is a side effect to the medication?
