I have 3 small children, youngest of whom is only 4 mths.
I had blood tests done which have shown a fsh level over 40. And progesterone is very low. Doctor said I am menopausal. It is such a shock as women in my family have often had babies in their forties.
I googled fsh levels and apparently I wouldn't even be given Ivf if I wanted it (which I don't). I just can't believe this has happened - it's so out of the blue.
I thought there would be a gradual approach to the menopause. I have no symptoms at all - just no period.
I don't know what to expect and am quiet shocked. My baby is so young but I feel like I am old.
We probably would not have had a fourth baby but I don't like that the choice has been taken away.
I'll go back to the doctor in three months for repeat bloods but , based on internet research, I imagine the results aren't going to be very different.
I have no question as such. Just wanted to get it out there.
