TTC - but am I in premature menopause ? hot flashes etc. Posted: 09-28-07 23:22pm
we decided to start a family-after 1 week
or so I WAS SURE I WAS PREgnant because
the slightest thought made me want to cry.
Well no here comes my period and one
cycle was only 24 days! i'm used to that
27 range-well then 2 weeks after that I'm
at work on my lunch break and spend most
of the break tending to my really really
heavy period that I'm also not used to- I
freaked out for 20 minutes wondering if I
should see a doc. Well it slowed done
after like 30 minutes or so. Then the
final straw in my mind was today at work I
could of swore I had two hot flashes! And
what I've been reading-they say go to the
doctors and get evaluated well I'm at home
right now and won't be seeing a doctor for
days so I want to know now if I'm about to
have premature menopause.

All I can say is...calm down.
I'm 42 and was wondering the same thing.
Was having whacky periods and hot flashes
too. Lots of aching too. Very tired.
Finally booked an appointment with my
naturalpath.
She's given me something to cleanse my
liver and build my immune system. She
thinks I have estrogen dominance - too
much estrogen in my system. If your liver
is not working properly - and not flushing
the estrogen - it can build up - causing a
whole hose of symptoms. You can get too
much estrogen from many sources -
chemicals (cleaners, household chemicals),
skin products, bottled water (plastic
bottles that may have been heated),
sunscreen, etc.
I'm on a restricted diet for about a month
as well.
Great news. My period seems to be
returning to normal and I haven't had a
hot flash in a month!
Although I eat healthy I do drink a lot of
bottled water, use sunscreen, and clean
clean clean.
I'll be much more careful in the future.
Good luck!
