Hi, just looking for any experiences similar to mine with ovarian insufficiency and irregular periods under 40. A bit of background. I already had two children when I was diagnosed with lymphoma 7 years ago, I was 24. I was pregnant with my third at the time, had chemo during the pregnancy, carried him to 8 months and he died sadly after a very rushed and traumatic c section due to placental insufficiency. Because I was pregnant during my first 6 rounds of chemo nothing could really be done to preserve my fertility. After I lost my baby unfortunately the cancer was still there and I needed more chemo, this time a stronger type and I was warned it would leave me infertile. I also had a stem cell/bone marrow transplant which I was told would further affect my fertility. This was only a few months after I lost my baby, they asked me about going to London to freeze ovarian tissue but honestly I was still grieving and in no right state physically or mentally to get a train into London to go through something I was told has a very low success rate.
So here I am age 32 6/7 years later, I've been cancer free for 6 years (thankfully) and I've been having blood tests every few years to check my hormones. I had no bleeding at all from 2018-2021, but since 2022 I've been having "periods" or period like bleeding a few times a year. Last year I had 5 such episodes. In 2019 I was told I was menopausal (age 26), and my blood tests in 2020 and 2021 showed very high FSH levels which is apparently bad. Each time I've had a blood test to check my levels my GP has said 'it's not impossible for you to get pregnant, but very very unlikely'. I'm at a loss as to what else I can do from here. I had monthly bleeds from January until April this year, but since then, nothing. I really don't know what to think. Anyone had cycles that just suddenly stopped?
