A member asked:
On ortho tri cyclen (ethinyl estradiol and norgestimate) for perimenopause symptoms, two months in and still having bad night sweats. could night sweats be from hypothyroidism instead?

Probably not: Hypothyroidism is usually associated with being cold when others are comfortable. Night sweats can be associated with chronic infections such as tb, so you should discuss these symptoms with your doctor.

Possibly: Could possibly be hypothyroidism, but also can be adrenal fatigue. Consider a 24 hour urine hormone panel. You may need to get that done via a speciality lab such as meridian valley. Consider also looking for a good integrative medicine doctor in your area.
