I went to the GYN and they took alot of blood and are going to test all
my hormone levels and everything else you can think of.... I have to go
back to her on Monday Feb 4th. Hopefully I will find something out
then. She said we will look into the different drugs I can take at that
time presuming that everything comes back ok. I will keep you informed
if you are interested...
