Q: Premature Menopause at 17

I was wondering if anyone could give me any tips on how to cope with an early menopause.
I was diagnosed with this one month before my 17th birthday. I always thought I would have my own family, but now I've been told theres only a 10% chance of this happening nsturally.
I just feel lost and can't forget about it.
The tiredness, hot flushes and sickness are getting me down too.
Any suggestions will be taken on board.
Thanks.

look for a second opinion. I don't think is menopause what you have. All I know is that with menopause we have cero chance to get pregnant but if you were give 10% chance is because they are not sure you have menopause.
Did you try natural therappy for your hormones inbalance?
I don't know about this but I am considering it for my own problem.
I hope you find what is really happening with you.

Thanks so much for your reply.
I was told that I am going through an early menopause by a gynacologist (can't spell it). Apparently my ovaries are the size of an 8 year olds and this is why I only have a 10% chance of getting pregnant.
I havent been told anything about natural therapy, just told to consume more calcium as it will be likely that I get osteporosis.
Best wishes.

Honey, just continue with life and eating well...Do what the doctors tell you to do...When the time comes and you are in love and want a child, medicine can work miracles...They take eggs out of ovaries and fertilize them if your ovaries are not working properly....Don't dwell on something that may not happen and be happy that you have any ovaries at all...Many women don't....I wish you well....

Love,
Caroline
