I am going through alot of emotional things right now and I’m not sure if it’s the hormones or if I could be suffering from depression. Either one is hard to talk about with anyone but I need to do something. I’m still mostly regular, but have been having the hot flashes off and on for years. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi All,

My doctor has recently booked me in for a blood test (next week) as she says i need ot have my Hormones checked. Im currently on no contraceptive pill (as they mess up my periods) and im 25. has anybody experienced this? Im under alot of stress, and find im stressed alot and i feel anxious for stupid reasons and stress about my health. I had a series of panick attacks when i was 19, i was living with my ex bf and his mom who happened to be a total manic depressant person, which was unsettling and she came to me to confide in and told all her worries to, i always beleived she triggered my pannick attack as she may have rubbed off of me causing mental strain and stress. So i was 19 and ive not had a pannick attack again untill last year, when i NEARLY had one, but i controlled. Since then ive gone down hill. I used otbe a carefree/laid back person, and now my out look on life is very bleak. Throw in weight gain and restless night, my life at the moment pretty much sucks.

But this resent doctors visit, Hormonal imbalance? After reading up on this i feel i fit the bill perfectly. How will this be treated if i do have unbalanced hormones? And my favourite question – Will i feel better after they are balanced Hope so I dont normally look forward to blood tests, but this one i am, as i feel this will answer all my questions, and ill know im not totally bonkers x

Sorry for going on and on, never done this before and never written it down. Got carried away

Thanks guys Glad im not alone

Polysistic ovaries? that sounds scarey, i wont search that online as i tend not to do that anymore (you always end up diagnosing yourself) not good.

I agree, mother inlaws = not good. Glad i got out of that one. Because of her i tend to steer clear away from doom sayers and people who just go on and on i know it isnt there fault, but i just take myself away from them, as i look after number 1 now

Cant wait to get to the bottom of it, means ill be finally figured out.

So this is pretty common then?

Glad to see your feeling better – wheels are now aligned

I am having a tvh on wensday and have heard many things about being "packed" after the surgery.I also heard you are suppose to take antibotics before the surgery.are you in a little pain or alot?

Been having alot of pain and cramping this month. Thought it was due to ovulation but cramping was there for a few days, stopped for a few, and started again. I have been told I have cysts on my ovaries. What does it feel like if a cyst bursts? Also, if you have cysts on your ovaries does that mean you have polycystic ovarian syndrome?

Im a 26 yr old female, i had a baby girl almost a year ago and i didn’t suffer from PND. Over the last 6 months i have been losing an excessive amount of weight (30 kg’s since having my daughter) and am now dangerously thin. I have been suffering from terrible migraines which i have a history of so it didn’t concern me much. But lately im constantly exhausted despite having got a good nights rest. I get the chills and then all of a sudden im sweating im so hot. My neck is stiff and it feels almost like i have whiplash all the time. I have no motivation to do anything and have been feeling a strange lump on my head for the last few days that is really painful when i touch it. I don’t remember bumping my head anywhere. I am having outrageous mood swings, i go from being irrationally happy to depressed in the blink of an eye. I do eat all the time and i have no history of depression. I also go through these stages where i feel stupid, and im not a stupid person,. Last week, my boss described me as acting like the dumbest smart person he knows. I have an extensive vocabulary but cant seem to remember anything…. I feel like im going crazy and i know i should go to the doctor but alot of this makes me sound insane and like a hypochondriac…. Does anyone have any idea whats going on with me?

I’m starting to have symptoms of Menopause.
I’m only 41 but I had a hysterectomy when I was 30.
I still have 1 ovary.
But I’m dealing with moodiness alot more now than ever. And there is no good reason for my moodiness, everything in my life is absolutely perfect. I’m happier now than I’ve ever been.
I also deal with just the over-all not feeling well.
I’ve never been able to gain weight, I’ve always been under weight….just is natural in my family.
And now I’ve been putting on weight, which at first was great. But, o.k., the weight can stop now. And it’s not. I’m not liking it.
The only symptom I don’t really have are the hot flashes.
If this is Menopause or pre-menopause will the doctors give me anything now, or will I have to wait until it gets worse?
They did a hormone test on me a few months ago and it came back pre-menopause.
My doctor didn’t really seem like he wanted to do anything about it.
But I’m really miserable.

me and a friend went to a free clinic and got depo provera shots. later i was researching on the internet and saw that alot of sites said u were supposed 2 get the shot 5 days into my period. i got the shot like 2 weeks after my period. is it still affective?
they gave me a pregnancy test before the shot, it was negative

Stomach spasms (not painful) on and off for the last year.
Constipation and then some times stool is like water on occasion. More often consitpation.

Lightheaded sometimes. Constant dry mouth, and urination certain times. Dry skin sleepy right after eating, head ache, sweat alot in my sleep even though I am cold. Constantly feel hungry. Some times I get irritable with long periods of not eating, and certain foods cause massive GERD. I have GERD and I do not have diabetes. I was tested for that 2 years ago. I am tired of going to the doctor. Just wondering if anyone has had similiar symptoms. I don’t always feel horrible, I almost feel dehydrated all the time, but I drink tons of water and gatorade.

No , I know I am not pregant 100% sure.

And, I am not going through menopause.

I like to think that I am not overweight or psychially out of wack. I am a 30 year old female.

I am 39 soon to be 40…on birth control…but having alot of problems that I am not sure of…I am always tired, have a lot of spotting the whole month mostly when I go #2, some lower pelvice pain, bloated feeling somtimes, get moody a lot, weight gain more in my mid section, getting a little memory problems…..just feel like crap anymore! I was told I had endometriosis, I do take synthroid which was checked 3 months ago and adjusted up higher….Could this be the beginning of perimenopause?? Or does it sound like I need to see the doctor again?? My last visit was in August and all was fine…I was on lexapro a short time last summer for anxiety (so he says). I just haven’t felt that well the last year! Any help??? Ideas?? Or am I just getting old! Thanks!

I’m 47 and I have always been on schedule. This month I’ve been under alot of stress. When it came time to start, I had all the classic symptoms, just no period. Is this perimenopause? I’m not having anything unusual going on. What’s up?

I am 20 and i am having these hot flushes, and night sweats badly, i have mood swings and get irritated easily, i am loosing alot of hair, i picked up weight all of a sudden, bloating, breast pain, joint pain and itchy skin. I just notice those are symptoms of menopause. and i am just worried about all these things that’s happening to me. Is it possible to get menopause so early in your life?

Recently, i have been waking up in the middle of the night drenched in sweat and when i take my temp it was at 93.5. I also have a slight headache and feeling tired alot. What do i have??
