I am a 43 yo female whose menstrual cycle stopped abruptly 5+ years ago following two early miscarriages. I have 5 children, the last born prematurely at 33 weeks, then the two miscarriages. Dr. was unable to induce a cycle with progesterone alone, but did cycle with combination BC. Have hot flashes, trouble sleeping, vag. dryness, lack of libido, fatigue... Recent test results indicate:
