Hi
I'm 47 years old and remarried 2 years ago to a 32 year old. Decided to come off the pill in November last year, waiting 6 months whilst my body sorted itself out and then TTC. I had been on the pill since I was 17 and was expecting it to take a while for my cycle to settled down and to be fair it was erratic to start with but was normal at the end of the 6 months, hence the decision to TTC. 2 months of normal cycle came and went andt the last cycle was end of June. Nothing appeared since so now 3 months late. Lots of test and disappointment and still nothing. I went to the doctors after the first month and they can't do anything until I have a period to do the blood test to see what my hormones are doing. She assumes menopause but I am not having any symptoms (hot flushes etc) and my mother was in her late 50s before she had hers. IVF not an option at my age and they don't offer it free on the NHS where I live anyway, so have already ruled that out.
Quite frustrating that close friends have written me off a menopausal and wonder if anyone has experienced the same but with positive outcomes. I have started acupuncture, completely changed our diets (both lost lots of weight) by eating unprocessed foods, nutri bullet smoothies every day and taken supplements. Just wondering if its worth it....
