I am having some symptoms which i am very unsure whats happening with my periods also other symptoms. I am 33 and have 2 children aged 9 and 6. I am not on the pill or taken any recently.
Thought you might be able to help.
About a year ago my hair started falling out and has gone alot thinnner and lossing alot everyday but i noticed areas it has not grown back.
I have felt very emotional and hormonal even between periods. I dont sleep very well and have been getting hot flushess I have been to the hospital about my hair loss but i did not have the night sweats and they could not find anything wrong. thyroid ok. I can have my temperature feel like I am shivering.
My periods have been getting later each month , I always used to have a 27/28 day cycle now it goes from starting day 24 to 32/33. One month a had spotting in between for a day. Just wondered if this sound like early meopause symptoms.
Have had bad headaches. I feel really nausea and dizzy.I also feel weak, also feeling irritable emotional overwhelmed. I feel shaky inside, dry skin.
Puffy fingers like fluid retention especially when i wake up in the mornings
Just been to drs and they found my oestrogen level to be 167. She says it could be higher i think she said 200. Does any one know what it should be
What should this be and is there a website that explains about.
I am having another test next month and she talked about putting me on the pill to up it if she still thinks i need it.
also would this mean i am going to have an early menopause. Its all very confusing.
any advice.
