I'm not sure what I'm posting for I'm just really upset.

I've just been diagnosed with ovarian failure - I'm 39.

My partner and I started trying to conceive almost 2 years ago - I had my implant removed and my cycle returned to normal almost immediately. Then all of a sudden my periods stopped. It's been a long road and a few hospital visits but I've just been diagnosed now.

Obviously I'm relieved it's nothing life threatening but it's like I've been told I can't have children. I was so shocked and upset that I didn't ask if there was anything they could do to help me, I'm numb.

Now I'm afraid my partner will leave me as he does want another child (he has one from a previous relationship).

Has anyone else been in this situation?

Sorry to hear you're going through this. I'm awaiting the results from my AMH blood test as my FSH is raised. I'm only 32 and wanted a child since I was 15. It's devastating and I'm so worried what the results will come back with.

Have they offered any help?

Have you tried a Keto diet?

Thanks so much for your replies!

I've heard of the keto diet but don't know much about it... how would it help?

Hi, who has diagnosed the ovarian failure? It seems odd to have been trying for two years and to been told you have failure but they haven't discussed next options with you? I'm sorry if that is the case. It's horrible o be without a plan of action!

How bad are your results? Is it worth trying one round of ivf with your own eggs? If you and your partner really want children there are options such as donor conception etc though I realise this is a huge thing to get your head around and not for everyone.
