My husband and I have been ttc for 5 months now and I took my first round of Clomid (50 mg days 3-7) this month. On cycle day 20 (Tuesday) I went in and had blood work to test my progesterone levels. I got my results this morning and it was 18.7 and they said that’s good. I was wondering what that means more specifically. I have an appt. with my dr. next Tues. and we will discuss it more in depth then but I was curious now. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I know that means I ovulated which is great. Are those levels high enough that I could be pregnant?

Premature Ovarian Failure or POF (basically going through menopause before you’re 40). I am 26 and after missed periods and different blood work from my doctor she thinks it might be POF. With POF does one have all the symptoms of menopause? I haven’t had a period since January (5 months) but I don’t have hot flashes, night sweats or other things going on. Is there anything else it could be? (not pregnant or having sex by the way)

I am 39 years old and had very regular, predictable periods up until about 5 months ago. It started out with a 12 day long light period. Then it stopped for about 2 weeks and I got another 12 day long light period. Then, I started alternating between a light period and a "normal" period about every two weeks.
Now my last "period" was July 31 (today is Sept. 13). I had terrible PMS (like I’ve never had it before) and awful cramps around August 27. At that time I got very, very light spotting for about 3 days. It was so light that the blood was barely detectable on the pantyliner. Now, nothing.

Plus, I have noticed my mid-section has been getting quite large lately. But, I suppose that is a separate issue. I’m thinking about reducing my carb intake to see if that will help.

I went to the OB/GYN and she did all the hormone tests. All my tests turned out good. All my hormone levels were as close to perfect as you can get. Does that mean that this is not perimenopause? If not, what is it?

Hi I have used the Arbonne Progesterone Cream 5 months and each time it gave me a cycle. I used it until I got red, red meant stop, then used it again on day 10 after I started and did that for 5 months. I never ovulated either. So I just finished my Clomid and thought I might start the Progesterone cream too. I wasn’t sure if that would help me ovulate too, but I don’t know when to start it. Any advice would be great. Thank you.

I am 35 & over 2 weeks late.

I started a new job almost 5 months ago. The past few months have been a whirlwind of new things to learn, new faces to meet & overall getting my feet wet. Plus, we’re about to get busier in mid-May and I’ve been stressing over that. I have also been given the responsibilitiy of processing payroll for our department. It’s only 9 people, but I was getting tweaked over that.

So now I’m over two weeks late. I thought I ovulated (there was the usual discharge in my underwear.) And I went through my myriad of symptoms (crying, bloating, bitchiness, etc.) but nothing happened.

I’ve been having cramps & stomach aches in my upper & lower abdomen that could be from me getting over food poisoning. I have only been eating yogurt, toast, crackers and soup & it still doesn’t feel better.

My nipples are sensitive, have been crying randomly this past week & I haven’t slept that great.

Could this be the start of perimenopause or something else?

Thanks!

I had a total abdominal hysterectomy about a week ago. Everything removed minus the ovaries and my stomach is still sticking out. It has me concerned. My mental state is excellent but my stomach looks like I’m pregnant. I had 6 fibroids and my Gynecologist told me that my uterus was the size of a woman who was 4 to 5 months pregnant. Help!

I stopped breastfeeding about 2 weeks ago (I still express milk ocassionally when I feel my breasts too engorged but I haven’t expressed at all in the last couple of days) and I also got my period 2 days ago. Ever since I got my period back I’ve had night sweats, is this normal, I mean due to the hormones going back to normal? Thanks.
I breastfed for 5 months.

The past few nights I have been waking up with a portion of my tshirt damp from sweating. Usually it is only around the neck area. I am 31 yrs old, fairly good health. I do suffer from anxiety/panic disorder. I am wondering could this be subconcious anxiousness from the major things going on in my life right now: getting married in a month, just got a new puppy, buying a house, mom having biopsy on breast, me having a suspicious mole removed leading to 7 stitches and a deep incision…… My mind is in a million different directions. I am not the type to ignore physical symptoms but I see a host of drs regularly for stomach issues, pinched nerve, asthma. I had a chest xray about 5 months ago along with an EKG which were OK. My apt is rather warm at times and I cannot control the heat - maybe I am overcompensating when I sleep with a down comforter and sweat pants? Any ideas? Serious replies only. Thanks !

I wonder if I’m starting to experience symptoms of menopause, I had a hysterectomy 5 months ago, but kept one ovarie and fillopian tube. But here lately, I’ve been feeling so edgy, everyone here at home is irritating me sooooo badly. If they don’t move fast enough I have to walk away to wait out the feelings of loosing my patience. Even though I’m biting my tongue off to keep from getting into an argument with anyone, I still have this over whelming feeling of rage inside me, and like I said no patience whatsoever, this started a day or so ago. and I can’t seem to shake it. I’m normally a very calm, patient, happy go lucky type of woman. I will be 49 years old in two months.
Thanks everyone for posting to my question, but I want to say that I am NOT grieving over losing my uterus, it was the best thing, considering the many years of problems that came with it…fibroid tumors, heavy menses, pms and severe cramps. I want to thank the men for trying to be helpful, even though they really can’t relate to this, its really sweet of you to post with sincerity and with miminal jokes.

I had a hysto (ovaries, tubes, uterus and cervix) 2.5 years ago.
I have risk factors for PCOS.
I have had elevated testosterone for 5 months.
Could PCOS be diagnosised as the cause of excessive hormones despite the surgery?
