NIGHT SWEATS, SLIGHT SPOTTING, LOWER BACK ACHE
I have been having night sweats during my periods for the last couple of months. (i am 38yrs and dont take the pill) last month i had a bit of light spotting (oldish blood) about 5 days after my period. 2 yrs ago had an ultrasound on ovaries which was normal, had normal pap smears every year also. i have just developed lower back pain. Dr says muscle strain as it is relieved with heat, and . had pelvic exam yesterday and dr says all ok.
My dr claims hormone problems, actually she said likely to be low eastrogen levels at times during cycle.. My period is also odd, has been for ages since birth of my 3rd child 8 yrs ago,
it is fairly regular, but i have couple days of spotting followed by 2days fairly heavy bleeding with small clotting, followed by 2days light again.
i have had a hormone test 3 yrs ago, which was within normal limits, and hystoscopy 6 yrs ago ( think thats how its spelt) with no abnormalities.
i am always thinking the worst, and worry myself sick. next month am going to have hormone blood testing along with thyroid and iron, but dr hasnt sent me for ultrasound. any advice.

Welcome! Well, you know what they say about a little info being a dangerous thing?!? Funny how we seem to glom onto the worst case scenerios. Sounds like a bit of a hormone imbalance. Perhaps your dr. can do a blood test and see what needs to be done to get you back on track.

Thanks Linda. i seem to blow things out of proportion.
Reading things on the net, one tends to assume things, after reading that back pain is related to o/c, i immediately think the worst.
as far as the hormone imbalance, i have just started taking vitex agnus castus, which is supposted to help.
