Early menopause - really feeling the pressure.

[rambini]

I am currently feel like I am slowly going insane and wondered if anyone else is in a similar positiin? Basically I have a strong family history of early menopause, my gran was 28 and my mum 27. I have had tests at the dr to check my hormone levels which are all showing that I am going to also go through early menopause. I am 26 this year and absolutely terrified that I won't be able to have a child. I also have endometriosis and a history of ovarian cysts. Myself and my husband are now on cycle 5 of ttc, and I just feel very frustrated,out of control and worried that it won't ever happen for us. It makes me so upset. I am sorry to go on, but would really appreciate any kind words a slap round the face to pull myself together from anyone who is in a similar position? X

Oh OP, I've not gone through this myself but feel for you. Are you not able to get help from the NHS for this?

Hopefully, someone who knows about this will be sling soon.
Take care agm good luck xx

Rambini I'm sorry, it is such a difficult thing. I started ttc at 33 with no history of early meno in my family but now at 37 am about to start donor treatment as I really have minimal eggs left. This came as a very nasty shock last year and I will never forget sitting in the waiting room after a scan of my empty ovaries. You don't say what your results are but five months really is a short time, especially if fsh might be a bit higher but it can be done. I really hope you get lucky or, if needed, that you succeed with ivf. This is all very new to you and I know how scary and upsetting it is. But there is lots of hope and you are not alone. Keep talking, if it helps.
