waking up with night sweats - bcp or perimenopause

in TTC after 35

Okay, I've started my IVF treatment plan and I've taking bcp.  I managed to ride out the nausea but now I'm waking up every other night at 3am with mild to moderate sweating.  

Because I'm 39, I can't decide if it's a s/e of the bcp or if it's perimenopause. 

Any thoughts???

    Has it been warm in Michigan like in Illinois?  Maybe neither.  Maybe you need to reconsider the weight of your comforter, since it's been warm?  Def something to think about.  I did not have night sweats on BCP though.

    I'm sure you've had your E2 level tested so you would know if your estrogen was low.

    Good luck!

    Gen, what are E2 levels?  I don't recall much of the info because the majority of my testing occurred in the fall of 2010.

    Sorry, estrogen.  They've tested it at my baseline during all m IUI cycles and I know will do the same at the beginning of my IVF cycle.  I'm sure if your's was low they would of said something.  I don't have issues taking BCP but I know lot's of women do.  I hope the night sweats go away soon!

    Gen: Thanks for the clarifier. I think I'm just sensitive to BCP.

    HappyWife:  Guess what?  DH has been turning the electric blanket on high at night. So, after I turned down the heat, I haven't had any night sweats.  LOL

    Probably a combination of a lot of things that the BCP are making worse. I am really scared to take them when I start IVF. I haven't taken BCP sine I was in my early 20s and they made me uber-crazy back then.
