About 4+ years ago I started to have symptoms, though at the time I had no clue into the world of hormone balance. I would sometimes get my cycle every 2 weeks. Being recently remarried, we are trying to get pregnant. Two months into trying i learned that it might not be as easy as i thought it would be due to my age, I am 46. We decided to start seeing an acupuncturist, after filling out a questionnaire i realized that I had miscarried the very month before and found out that i was Estrogen dominate from the questionnaire. I signed up for their three month program in which I started charting, saliva testing, cleansing, diet changes, I did everything the acupuncturists suggested. I was receiving abdominal massages, Maca and Vitex (Chasteberry) in addition to the acupuncture. Then the day came i had a Positive HPT!! But 38 days into the pregnancy i started to bleed. I went to my OBGYN immediately only to find out that I miscarried again. I asked him to test my Progesterone levels the following month, the results showed that i did ovulate but my progesterone was low for the 21st day (7). I asked for help and basically was told that they weren't going to prescribe anything that they were going away from that because studies showed that it didn't make a difference in the chances of sustaining a pregnancy. After having flow for 9 days, my cycle next didn't come on time (45 days) after which my acupuncturist put me on a high dose Wild Yam Tincture (4 squirts a day) for 3 cycles, with each cycle my flow got shorter and lighter compared to the last, but my flow had naturally gotten lighter over the years after the birth of my 2nd child at age 33. I told him that the wild yam was suppressing my estrogen and the growth of my lining, he said it was being used in another way to stay with it, it was making my endocrine system thrive, but he did decrease the Maca and the Vitex. My Temps flat lined for 20 days! The last cycle i had i barely spotted for 3 days (that was 72 days ago) I knew something wasn't right. My acupuncturist stopped the Maca, decreased the Wild Yam to 2 squirts a day and told me to now take 5 Vitex pills through out the cycle. The Hot Flashes started 2 months ago and still no cycle in site. I am not seeing the acupuncturist anymore, and stopped taking the Wild Yam Tincture 2 weeks ago and stopped the Vitex 3 days ago. I have no cycle and the hot flashes are more frequent now. I just read that it will take 2 months to get the Wild Yam out of my system. But after reading several website's information, I realize I am probably Estrogen Deficient as well, just my Progesterone levels were lower the the Estrogen which was revealed with taking the Wild Yam. I just do not know where to go from here. Testing my hormones and addressing the both levels is a start, but i do not know where i can get tested.
