Am i too young to be going through menopause?

Conception

I havent had my menstration for 3 months now and i m really worried why would i not have my period unless i was going through menopause??? I have had 3 kids, had my tubes tied. I am 36 yrs old.

It is rather young. However I also went straight into menopause after my tubal ligation. I suspect a connection. Ask your doc for a blood test to check your hormone levels.

It's rare to go into menopause at 36. Have you been very stressed lately or have you gained or lost weight quickly? I really think you should get it checked out. Missing your period for three months as an adult is not really normal. I know that you've had your tubes tied but it has happened that women who have had their tubes tied have gotten pregnant so a pregnancy test wouldn't hurt. Go see a doctor though just to make sure that it's nothing serious. Keep in mind that many serious conditions can be successfully treated if caught early.

The average age for menopause is 51, but like others have mentioned, there are cases of this starting earlier. I found this great self-assessment questionnaire that may help with action steps if you are menopausal. http://www. hormonesolutions. com/patients/menopause-self-assessment. htm? a=PAG0001

I have heard of girls who are 17 having menopause so never too young. Have you had any hot flashes or other symptoms?
