Hi,
I've had a bit of a shock this week. I'm 29 and currently 5+1 pregnant- conceived our first month of properly trying. Went to a scan at the EPU for suspected ectopic and was told by a consultant that although this pregnancy is in the womb, he saw signs of POI in my ovaries (left couldn't be found and right significantly smaller than it should be) and there's a chance my periods won't ever return after this pregnancy. I feel completely blindsided by this as we haven't been on an infertility journey and naively thought we had all the time in the world.
I was already anxious about miscarriage and this is now all consuming as I keep thinking this is possibly my only chance to have my own biological child. I am also wondering if I'm at a higher risk of miscarriage because of possibly worse egg quality? Because I'm pregnant at the moment they can't do any tests to officially diagnose me or give any real answers so I just feel completely overwhelmed and anxious by it all with hundreds of questions.
I was wondering if there's anyone who has been through similar who I could speak to? I've requested some counselling but I'm feeling so down and scared for the future and it would be great to connect to others in a similar situation.
