Just some advice really, Iv been having blood test for the past 10 year now to look at my hormone levels. Well they can't find anything wrong with my hormones but I have all the symptoms of Perimenopausal.. it all started 10-11 years ago when I was only 27 years old, I was one of these that was always cold, then all of a sudden I was always hot, sweating under arms (never had a problem before) Sweating at night. I went to the doctors for then to tell me not to be silly as I was far to young to be going thought the menopause. So off I went. The rest of that year stayed the same sweating all over the place, never notice a change in periods due to being on the pill. Well I stopped taking my pill a year later and at first periods seemed normal. But after a few months I was going 3 month without a period this went on for 9 months then on my 3rd one I had a 4 week cycle and it was normal period then no periods for 9months until my bouncing baby boy was born. I went on the pill again until he was 9 months old then I got sterilised. From then on my periods was all over the place. They got a lot shorter (most of the time), from 7 days to 4 days but very bright red, very thin blood. I would go 4-8 week in between periods. My sweats got more intense, I could be standing in a shop and my toe would start to go really hot then it would travel all the way up to my head, it is horrible. My periods got heavy but still very bright thin blood, then it would be thin blood with big blood clots. I had a scan on my ovaries and more blood tests, nothing. Iv had smears and swabs and again nothing. They really don't know what is going on with me. I'm at a loss here. ☹️☹️

Anyone else ever gone through something like this please get in touch xx

Maybe you need check your FSH and your estradiol level with a blood test and your thyroid as well. Ask for help. Nobody is too young for Meno, it happens any time, age isn’t an indicator. Ask for help!

D you have a menopause clinic in your area? Have a look online.
If you can afford what about private menopause specialist.
There’s a website menopause matters, it as a list of specialist (top of page) and also as forum with lots of ladies on there.

Hello there. I was diagnosed with premature ovarian failure at the age of 32. I'm now 35 and been living with it for a couple of years now.

It all started with me trying to get pregnant with my 2nd child and having difficulties. My periods were irregular and some months heavier than others.

I had my blood work done, my FSH was high so they sent off for a whole raft of other hormone tests to rule outother conditions.

They can't give me a reason for why it happened, I have no family history so no genetic element. I'm one of the 70% of women who never find a reason.

I'm on HRT. I am much better now and lead a perfectly normal life. I've lost 4st I the last 12months and whilst it took a lot to come to terms with I've made peace with it now and I just manage it as a long term condition.

Feel free toPm me if you've got any other questions xx
