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.



Lori

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?

Can you get the menopause when you are on the pill?

I am 38and still taking the pill although recently I have been having symptoms that match the menopause, I am not sure if this is possible?

Its sounds like your going through the early signs of the menopause. You can be like this for awhile. Best to go to your doctors and get a blood test done. Also fine out if any one in your family has been through the menopause early. The pill might not be suitable for you if you are going through the menopause.



Laure

Yes it is. See you physician.



Cara

yes, my guess is that you are just pre-menopausal.



Barry

yes but by taking the pill helps reduce the effects of the menopauseyou are quite young though



Bryon

Being on the pill does not cause menopause or prevent it either. Fact of life is we all have to go through it. Unfortunately, it makes us crazy for about 10 to 20 years as we go through premenopause until we finally get to menapause.



Emilee

Unfortunately nothing can be done to avoid menopause. Forever young is not within our reach. The pill can do nothing to stop this, it's just some hormons that will soften the effects of menopause. Sorry.

Pills supply you with necessary regular hormones which makes your cycle come regularly. Menopause means ablation of this hormones. Menopausal symptoms like hot flushes and nervousness and so on but most important is irregular menses at the beginning the complete amenorrhea.
