Lately, I get the feeling that I am about to go into menopause. The past months, I have been excruciatingly hot even when the temperature is around 60 in the house. I perspire (it seems like) all the time. When I take my body temperature it is usually around 97.something, but I am still HOT, HOT, HOT! To top it off, AF showed at day 25 this cycle and never in my memory has it ever been that early. I am usually a constant 28 days except a few times while ttc when I have gone as late as 30.
What do you think: 45 and going through menopause? I know they say that the age your Mother went through menopause is a good indicator of when you should go through it, but my Mom died of cancer when she was 32 so no help there. Her mother went through it around 56.
Today, I went to the doctor for tests, but she feels that it is not menopause. Maybe it is my thyroid acting up again and my meds need to be adjusted. Well, just have to wait for results! In any case, my ttc period may be over, because of the other health problems that I need to take care of right now. My doctor is going to coordinate a team of doctors: herself, neurology, sleep disorder specialist in order to try to find a solution to my health problems.
