April, 2010




I’ve had this problem for about the past 6 months. My body gets cold in 90 degree weather then with in minutes I’m sweating bullets…as I should. My actually temperature is the normal 98.6….but my skin may feel cooler or hotter. Anyone have this same issue?




I’ve been on the depo for over 2 years. I plan to stop using it and become a mother. Will I have any difficulties?




I need to know two parts of the body that produces oestrogen and progesterone.

Vaginal dryness during pregnancy?




I am 18 weeks pregnant. I have been having vaginal dryness and am wondering if it is because I shave every few days or once a week. I also don’t wear underwear. I wonder if I should stop shaving and start wearing underwear. Thanks for any help.

Can chemotherapy cause early menopause?




I had Hodgkins when I was 15 and went through 6 months of MOPP. I am 42 years old and for the past 2-3 years have experienced inconsistent periods (prior to that, ALWAYS 28 day cycle). I chalked it up to stress (due to various issues). This year has been very stressful and again my cycle is messed up. At one point this summer I had a period within 2 weeks of each other, went back to 30 days and now haven’t had one since Sept. I have horrible, sudden "oh my gosh I’m so hot" and perspire to being cold. I don’t sleep well, and snap at stupid stuff. Anyway, when I look it up on line it seems like perimenopause but I worry because of my cancer history. Unfortunately, I’m petrified to go to the doctors. I feel like I’m too young to be experiencing this – thoughts?????




Scientists in the United States revealed that beer contains small traces of female hormones.
To prove their theory, they fed one hundred men twelve pints of beer and observed that 100% of them started talking nonsense and couldn’t drive.




it used to work in the old houses but now in newer housed a flushing of the toilet wont make the shower get hot….how come?







I am not feeling sick or anything, I am worried, could this mean cancer? I am only in my 20′s




I used to never get my period. If I did, it was like one here and there with anywhere from 4 to 9 months in between. I tried natural progesterone cream and I get it now, but its too often! It feels like I get it every other week! Any ideas? Also I want to get pregnant, but I dont even know if I ovulate.
I am using the Aim Renewed balance cream 1/4th teaspoon twice a day. When I started it I didnt know what day I was on, so I used it until I got my period. Counted to day 12 from the first day and started it again. Used it until my period started again, which was only 11 days, the next time it was only 9 days. It seems like I would only need to use it once a month, but its more like twice a month. I just cant seem to get the pattern down. So I read that using it from day 5-26 for a couple months and then stopping can trigger ovulation, so I am trying that. We haven’t been really TRYING to conceive right now, but we also havent been preventing, and it just hasn’t happened.
Also, I was 16 when I got my first period. I am not taking any medications, and my doctors can not confirm if I have PCOS or not. Some say yes, some say no. I do have cysts on my ovaries, but not any large ones. Just small ones on both. I have been on Birth control pills on and off since I was 17 to try to regulate things. I got off of them about 2 years ago. I went 9 months with out a period and started using the cream. It gave me my period but my doctor still thinks that I do not ovulate. Everytime I have my blood work done, my LH is skyrocketing and my FSH is low. I also think I have low progesterone. It was at a 1.06. But again, I dont know what stage I was in, since at that time I did not get a period at all. So I guess I just need to know what to do to get a period at the right time every month using the cream. I have read a lot of things about it and I dont know what to believe.
If I didnt explain that right, I would use the cream until I get my period, and not use it while I am bleeding. I was counting day one as the first day I bleed and starting the cream again on day 12. But since I was getting 2 periods I didnt know if this was correct. But now that I read that I should try to shut my ovaries off, this month I started the cream on day 5, I am on day 17 right now, so if i follow the same pattern, I am expecting to bleed again today or tomorrow.

Is this just PMS or is it early menopause?




I just turned 33. Since 2009 started, my PMS has gotten worse. As soon as my period is over, and I ovulate..I start to have PMS symptoms. I feel bloated, some pelvic pain, some breast pain. I find that particularly one breast in particular is painful.

Because I have noticed a change in my PMS this year, I am concerned that I am going into Menopause. I still get my period. My cycle is around 27-29 days. My period is 5 days long. Even if I am not in menopause yet, I am concerned that having stronger PMS indicates that I will go into the menopause sooner than later.

I started my period at 12, and my Mother didn’t go into the menopause until 50ish. I don’t have any children yet, but would like to eventually conceive. My GP doesn’t believe there is any reason I am starting Perimenopause. Should I ask for a blood test to check my hormone levels? Does this sound like early menopause?

can i get pregnant during hormone therapy?




it was described to me for three month, but my doctor said its not a birth Control pill, its called cyclo progynova, any one had it girls????? help please

I have literally tried everything… 3 personal trainers, all sorts of diets, running 1 hour per day and high protein, juicing, etc.. NOTHING works! I have gained 30 lbs of blubber and it just won’t come off. i had a physical and all is great.. nothing medically wrong with me. Is there ANYONE out there with tried & true experience on HOW to lose the weight?
