I am new to all this. I am 43 and experienced some of the same things lately. Just got a new gyn. who would at least listen and try something. She put me on Progesterone but I haven't started it yet. Like I said, I'm really new to this. She scheduled a vaginal ultrasound just to have a look and did some blood work to check for onset of menopause. Blood tests not back yet but ultrasound showed overian fibroid, cysts on both overies, and thickened endometrium. I go next week for a consultation. I don't know where we will go from here. Keep reading all the posts. The people here are wonderful and full of great advice. They are a wealth of knowledge. I am so glad they are willing to help.
