Menopause

Latest News



I started skipping periods about two years ago at the age of 40. I have not had a period now for about 4 months and I am having what I believe to be hot flashes.

I started to take Femhrt one month ago. Since them I got a regular period and some spot bleedings. My concern besides the bleeding that according to my GYN is normal, is that I am hungry all they.

My doctor put me on Premarin 1.25 for a year. When I went in for my yearly check up she had blood work done and found I had extremely low estrogen and practically no testosterone.

Have recently begun to take Black Cohosh which I purchased over-the-counter. I am 53 years old, and have not had a period since November of 1997.

I'm 49, perimenopausal and on combined est/prog (0.5 estrace daily and 5 cycrin days 1-10). About 45% of time, I experience bleeding before the end of the 10 day cycle of cycrin. Should I be concerned? Also experiencing hot flashes more lately.
