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?

Women age 47 or over did you ever miss a period before menopause that was not pregnancy?

Abbie

I am just turned 48, I have not had my period for seven weeks now, up to then very regular periods, never pregnant, not pregnant now (unless it was Immaculate Conception, lol). I think I am too young to go into menopause, never had any hormone problems. Last month my breasts were really sore the whole month which was unusual. Do you have any insight to share with me?

1 - you are within the age range when menipause typically begins (called perimenopause)2 - missed periods are common in perimenopause (so are altered ovulation schedules, which is how so many change-of-life-babies happen)3 - see your gyn, you are also within the age range of several reproductive disorders regardless of whether or not you are sexually active (and missed periods can be a symptom of some of them).



Latisha

You are not too young to go through menopause, usually your periods will slow down, maybe 2 or 3 a year. that may continue for a few years until they stop. you need to go to your gyney for him to do a FSH, LH blood test. that is a hormone test to see if your starting menopause.
