Tuesday question, I haz one.

I never used to have hot flashes at all. Then, about 2 years ago, I'd get them on the heavy day of AF. Then it gradually increased to throughout AF. Then it started to happen with Oing too. Now it's spread to non-AF/O times. They're enough to wake me up at night and are otherwise disturbing my sleep. I don't know if this is part of getting closer to 30, something to be concerned about, or nothing to worry about at all. Everything I found on google about it had to do with menopause, and I think it's unlikely that I'm getting early menopause (I'll be 29 in Oct). My mood tanks when the hotflashes are around too. I'm beginning to wonder if it's hormonal.

I've been off of bcp since Jan 2007, so I don't think that has anything to do with it. I really hate drs, but I don't have a PCP, and I'm thinking of finding one just to bring it up. But does anyone have any sort of experience with this? Is it just because I'm getting old?
