If so what were your side effects. I went to the gyno today and they are starting me on progesterone for not having a period for 5 months. I would like to conceive but I just want to make sure my body is ok first. So any advice with taking progesterone and pregnancy is also welcome.

For the past 5 months I have been having hot flashes, horrible mood swings (going from happy to frustrated or sad, sometimes I cry for no reason), my periods are much lighter and are coming farther apart, I have trouble sleeping at night, have almost no interest in sex ( I am in a relationship) and have dryness (down there), I am also tired all the time…the problem is I am only 21! Premature menopause runs in the family but never this early…HELP?!

The type was cervical cancer. For the past 3 year or so intercourse is vary pain. My husband and I has not had sex for a long time. I have tried pills, gels, and shots but I still have pain and have to set in the bathtub for hours in order for the pain to stop if we do have sex he did not know until 5 months ago.

I am planning to go to India (I have my family there) in mid-Nov. I’ve been diagnosed with having an ovarian cyst called endometrioma.I’ve consulted many doctors. Suggestion was to try and get pregnant within 6 months and if not successful,then should have a laparascopy to remove the cyst. Now its 5 months, so next month I’ve to have the lap. Since I’m going to India,I want to have the procedure done there.

My doubt is how many days after having the lap can I travel back (that is, fly)?
Some more answers please.

Ok im 16. Not a virgin. Me and my boyfriend have intercourse for the past 5 months and it’s been fine. But recently I’ve noticed changes in my body. And my boyfriend looked it up and was extremely worried that i had a lot of symptoms of premature menopause. Without going into detail but i have mood swings (ok im a teenager but they have gotten extreme), dry eyes and dry mouths, irregular periods (i’ve always had that since i was 14 i will have them randomly and not too often), down below not creating much fluids very dry, intercourse is quite painful due to it being t!ght (it wasn’t that much before), weight loss but the thing that doesn’t fit in is my breasts are so much bigger within the space of a week i must have gone up a cup size. I took a pregnancy test it wasn’t it came up negative. Is it premature menopause or anything else it could be? I can’t easily access a doctor so i would just like your thoughts for now please.

I’m in an active perimenopause at the moment. I haven’t had a period since February of this year. I’ve had high stress since the first of March. I’ve dealt with the loss of my husband’s father, my husband’s uncle, breaking foot, having surgery on arm. After all the stress left then I wake up on Wednesday to have a little surprise of a light period again. My sister is also in perimenopause and came in after 5 months. I know that women come sometimes cycle together but this is ridiculous. It isn’t bad just annoying. I was enjoying the freedom and now this. My mother entered menopause at age 48 and my aunt at age 56. I think I’m going to go for a few more years. I don’t want to go on birth control because of the risk factors. I am taking supplements that my doctor recommended last year though which balanced my hormone levels. I might have to have the levels rechecked again. Has anyone else had this problem? I know that my doctor told me that after 12 months you are considered to be in menopause. Thanks.

I haven’t had a period for a few months. prior to the last one I had I had gone nearly 5 months with out one. I went to the doctor and she did confirm that I was in the early stages but did not give me a complete education on the subject. I get fat and moody evey month but there is no period.

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?

I’m been trying to get pregnant and my doctor prescribed me prometrium for about 5 months cause my progesterone level was low; now he dosen’t but i still want to take it and try to get prego.

just had a hysterectomy nov 5 and my stomache is blotted like i’m 5 months preg,i’ve been taking gas pills but it has not helped…any advice would be a great help

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!
