Is this premature menopause or secondary infertility?


Catrina

A few years ago I was on the depo shot for birth control. I ended up having my period for 2 months straight. My husband and I have been TTC for a few months now and we are having trouble. I was just wondering if the fact that I had my period for that long could cause premature menopause? I am also 3 days late for my period this month and 2 pregnancy tests have said negative. Anyone know why this is?



Chantelle

The only way to tell if you are going thru premature menopause is to have some blood work done. I would speak to your OB/GYN. They will probably test FSH, LH, Estradiol, along with some others. If you have been trying for longer than a year you should see your OB anyway.



Rosie

Well...you don't list your age. Premature menopause is basically menopause that starts before age 40. Having a long period can't cause premature menopause. In fact, nothing can "cause" premature menopause except for getting your ovaries removed or going through chemotherapy. Sometimes for reasons that nobody knows a woman will have premature menopause. The reason that any woman goes through menopause is because her ovaries are depleted of eggs. A long period will not affect your egg supply at all! The depo shot shouldn't be affecting your fertility as this point if it's been a few years since you've been on it. As far as being 3 days late for your period...that could mean only a few things. Either you ovulated later than normal or you are pregnant. Since women always ovulate about 14 days BEFORE their period you can only truly know you are late for your period if you've been tracking ovulation in some way. You can track ovulation by charting your BBT or by using OPK's. Also, ttc for only a few months doesn't indicate any fertility problem. Generally if you are under 35 a doctor won't do infertility tests until you have been trying for a year. If you are over 35 then they like to start testing if you go over 6 months without conception

First of all, how old are you? It is highly doubtful that it is premature menopause if you are under 40. Are you hoping that it is secondary infertility? Because this is a question that should not cross the mind of a young, menstruating female. You probably need to go to you doctor and ask for progesterone tabs for 10 days. That will jump start your period again.

I also have issues with Menopause. I posted my question on wish123 and got an answer from an expert who solved my problem. Highly recommend the website.

Anyone in the medical field that may know menopause symptoms?


Lynda

I am 51 and in the process of the "change".Have been diagnosed. I use to be good at organizing anything that came along, but for a couple of years now, I can't even organize my papers, mail, insurance policies, etc. I always loved office supplies, now they confuse me. I have a stack of personal papers that I transfer from the bed to the floor every night and back to the bed every morning. I can't figure out where to put them or how to organize it. My cd's and dvd's aren't quite as messy. I'm scatter brained. I'm also a little compulsive about keeping my kitchen counter clean, whether the dishes are done or not. I wasn't like this before. Can this be caused by menopause? Thank you.

Good Website: http://www. menopauserx. com/Symptoms:Hot flashes Estrogen replacement 2% bioidentical progesterone cream Meditation and relaxation Dietary improvements, like eliminating white rice and foods made from white flour from your diet, as well as soda, alcohol and sweets Add 45–160 mg of soy isoflavones to your daily diet. Herbal therapies such as Remifemin or Women's Menocaps, reliable brands found in natural food stores Acupuncture Night sweats Solutions are the same as for hot flashes. Heart palpitations If you are experiencing these, see your doctor immediately. They could be symptoms of a much more serious condition. Migraine headaches Avoid trigger foods like caffeine, alcohol, red wine, chocolate, peanuts and aspartame (found in some diet drinks). If there is no change, try eliminating wheat, sugar, corn and dairy for two weeks. Avoid or transform potential stress by keeping a journal of what's going on when your headaches start. You should begin to see a pattern that you can then take steps to change. Balance your hormones with a 2% bioidentical progesterone cream, applied to the skin. Eat more soy. Try herbal remedies like feverfew. and butterbur that have been shown to relieve migraine pain. Supplements such as Magnesium and EPA and DHA (fish oil) are also effective at relieving migraine pain. Breast swelling and tenderness Follow a hormone-balancing diet. Take 100–200 mg of B vitamins and omega-3 fats such as EPA and DHA once or twice daily. Cut out caffeine. Use a 2% bioidentical progesterone cream. Add whole soy foods to your diet. Heavy menstrual periods Consult your doctor about progesterone or birth control pills. Investigate acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine. In severe cases, laser surgery can help. Check with your doctor. Irregular or erratic periods If you can live with it, hang in there. The problem will go away. Talk to your doctor about alternatives such as birth control pills, progesterone cream or the herb chaste berry. Fibroids These growths will usually shrink dramatically after menopause and don't require surgery. Consult your doctor about having the growths removed if necessary. Weight loss, acupuncture, herbal remedies, dietary change and progesterone are effective alternatives in many cases. Change in libido Have your hormonal levels checked. Adrenal exhaustion can be helped with supplemental amounts of testosterone or DHEA. Have your doctor check for reduced amounts of estrogen or thinning of the vaginal tissue. If your sex drive has increased, channel your extra energy into a creative outlet that helps you get the most out of your life. Vaginal dryness and/or painful intercourse Try a vaginal lubricant during intercourse. Topical estrogen cream, vitamin E suppositories, systemic estrogen therapy, or increased intake of soy can be helpful. Check with your doctor. Urinary symptoms Can often be resolved through the use of a locally applied estrogen cream. Kegel exercises (contracting and strengthening the muscles of the pelvic floor) can increase blood flow to the area and help with stress incontinence. Skin problems A variety of treatments will help build collagen, resurface the skin, and prevent wrinkles. Try systemic hormones, adding soy to your diet, and antioxidant supplements like vitamin C and E. Bone loss Get adequate phytohormones from foods such as soy, from herbs, hormone replacement and calcium and magnesium supplements. Strengthen your bones by beginning a weight-bearing exercise program. Insomnia If related to hot flashes, try the solutions listed above. If related to anxiety, you may need to make some changes in your life that the anxiety is bringing to your attention. You may just need more sleep than you previously did. Try daytime naps to relieve your insomnia. Fuzzy thinking Try herbs such as ginkgo and St. John's wort. Soy isoflavones or hormones like progesterone or estrogen are also helpful.

After not having a menstrual period for five years menopause why would light bleeding occur?


Deon

I take a low dose hormone. My doctor says I don't have ovarian cancer because he cannot palpate my ovaries. I seemed to have a regular cycle, puffed up breasts, grouchiness, etc. Is this normal?



Jacqualine

Its pretty much a golden rule that post menpausal bleeding needs to be investigated properly.. the reason is to rule out endometrial or uterine cancer... not to worry u as its usually something else but it needs to be rule out as its the most dangerous cuase..apart from cervical cancer maybe..anyway u need a pap smear if u havent had one recently, a pelvic examination, a transvaginal ultrasound to check the lining of the uterus and a scope into ur uterus..go see a gynae please



Bonnie

your vagina is probably scared of that low dose hormone stuff because you have been taking it too long. im being serious.



Etta

CN gave you good advice. Hope you take it. Good Luck

If you start your period early say 10 years old will you go into menopause earlier too?


Dodie

I started at 10, 7 years ago, is it possible or some sort of fact that if you start earlier, then you will "finish" earlier too?



Georgann

Baby girls are born with as many eggs the will ever need, some will die & some mature until all the reproductive organs work together then they will have there first period sometimes as young as 8 or as old as 18.women could have menopause on average at 45 & as late as 55 or some can get it even earlier through medical reasons or they could get it as young as there early 30s. There's know given time unless of course there's a medical reason. I hope that answers your question. Hope it Helps. Good Luck



Clarisa

More related to when your mother had the menopause - generally speaking you would have your menopause then too. The only exception to the rule is if your mother went through the menopause early due to a medical reason such as hysterectomy or chemotherapy.



Laura

woah i never even thought of that lol i started young too. in 4th grade i think i was 10

Menopause?


Vikki

They say it is impossible for a woman to conceive once she has entered menopause. My friend was just told she is in menopause, and she is devastated beyond belief. She was trying to have a child. Have you ever heard of women conceiving after menopause?



Alberto

A friend of mine went into early menopause. She then conceived a year later!?!?!? Get a second opinion maybe. But definately get her to start on Chaste Tree Liquid. It can help to regulate hormones. Check out the HERB section of: http://www. marilynglenville. com/infertil…Chaste tree (aka agnus castus) is a very powerful herb & underestimated. Also try Cascade Cream - rub on tummy where ovaries are. I used both of these (Cascade for 6 months & Chaste tree for 12 months). They cured my pcos symptoms & I have a baby! I noticed them starting to work after only 3 months tho!! Once I stopped using them my cycle was always regular (before then I only ever got my cycle once or twice a year - if that).You could get both these items from a naturopath - otherwise try health shop or google them on the internet as I'm sure you can buy online. Let me know how she goes - don't lose hope!



France

Unfortunately once you are in menopause you stop ovulating and stop having period.... I don't know your friend's age but she could consider donor egg.... that if she is approved for the program base on the test they will recomend your friend to do. Good luck to your friend... I know how that feels from personal experience.... I am currently working with GIVF(www. givf. com) and I was matched with a donor in 2 months....
