Demi,

You mentioned that you had a hot flash or night sweat, and that this can happen when your estrogen levels drop. I think you have been given false information about that. Everything that I have researched about the night sweats and hot flashes along with your other female problems, are connected to low progesterone and HIGH estrogen levels. I was still havinga few night sweats after starting on magnesium and then started on progesterone cream and that took care of those.
There was a discussion earlier in the thread about the function of progesterone. It doesn't end a pregnancy, but enables your body to become pregnant and to carry out the pregnancy. I found a site page that is very informative and explains this better than I can. Hope you can get to it-
