I've been in it for the past 8 years. Most of that time I opted to be on the BC pill to regulate my hormones. I had to go off that in March and my life was hell up until August, with hot flashes every few minutes. I tried every natural and OTC option I could find and nothing worked. I then opted to do bioidentical hormones and after 2 months have finally determined (under my doctor's care) the correct combined dosages of estrogen and progesterone and I'm mostly hot flash-free.
My doctor did a blood test on me 8 years ago that determined I was in it.
Good luck Lauren and sorry you are facing this so early!! Way too early!
