Premature Menopause at 17

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

Thanks for your kinds words of support.
I understand what your saying and see where your coming from, its just hard you know.
Im going to take your advice on board and just try to carry on as normal.
i hope everythings okay with you and wish you happiness.

Best wishes.

Do get that second opinion. Ask your parents if there's a big medical center nearby that's known for research. Sometimes they're aware of stuff a regular doctor isn't.

hello i was diagnosed with this when i was also your age and now im 20.. so ive had a few years to try to come to terms with it.. i am now taking 'the pill' for oestrogen that i lacked in my body.. and i will have to take it for the rest of my life. I also had the scans done that you mentioned and was also told my what you were and that my womb was the size of a 9 year olds.. i think the best way to try to cope with it is to surround yourself with the support of your family.. i have tried to talk to friends about this but sadly its so rare they cant really relate to what im going through.. but this happening to me still hasnt stopped me of having high hopes for the future.. the thing that upsets me the most is that knowing the choice has been taken away from you.. and thats the hardest thing to come to terms with.. but i was told that egg donation would be an option for me if i wanted to have kids when i was older.. I know its hard but try to be optimistic still for the future, this happening doesnt mean you wont have a great future and you never know wat science would be like they might be able to develop an alternative way to this problem, i forever have my fingers crossed !


Good luck hope this helped and sorry for the long comment xxxxxx
