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.



Hettie

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



Coralie

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

Why does menopause cause women to be a little mean? how long does menopause last?

Adrian

Why does menopause cause meanness? I notice that women tend to be a little mean when going through "the change"Why? How long does menopause last? Women are kind of crazy during menopause. My mom sure is moody lately. I can't wait for her to be done. I don't live with my parents but when I visit she can be a little mean sometimes lately. How long does it last? Why are menopausal women so mean?



Loreta

It's pretty much the same issue as PMS, fluctuating hormone levels alter a person's mood.

It is called moon swings, and its "Mental pause" with power surges! and yes 7-10 years. We get depressed too. Be patient she needs to get on something. If no HRT, try Omega-3 vitamins ot flax seed oil, they will help with her symptoms.



Annabel

menopause last about 7 - ten years, yes that's right, suggest some extra estrogen for a while will help with her emotions, and will also feel better



Estela

You get that way because of your hormones. You aren't producing as much and it wacks you out more ways than one.



Lesha

It is all due to harmonal changes. Do not worry.

Is getting your period at a very young age any indication that you will go through menopause earlier?

Lois

no every womans body is different but that dosent mean you'll start menopause earlier. My mom thought that too and she asked her doctor about it and he said no.



Orlando

you probably will go through it normally. if you got it when you were under 10 you may get menopause earlier. talk to your mom



Andria

no the time you get your period to the time it ends with menopause varies in all women



Arlinda

nope. Every woman is different. Starting early is no indication of when you may go thru menopause.



Darrell

I think this is one of the things that we will see when this generation of teens who began periods when their age was still a single digit. Two cousins began at 9; both girls were heavy, so they ate a lot of meat, which had been given hormones for more productivity. What will this do to them as women is in the future because the current generation going through menopause started at 12-13 or so. I have a lot of food allergies -- I cannot eat anything that has been in the sea. I used to be able to, but that was before the water has become polluted with mercury and zinc. It just seems that no one in the FDA will look at the long term effects -- and your question is not just excellent, it is powerful because we just do not know. Think of the book by PD James and the recent movie where no children had been born for over 20 years. I read the book a long time ago and thought pure S/F -- now, I don't think it is S/F but a distinct possibility.

Is it true that just before menopause women become extra fertile?

Hershel

I have heard that as menopause approaches womens hormones alter such that they experience a last surge of super-fertility and that this is to blame for many 'accidents' created long after parents have thought their baby days were over. Is this true or an old wives tale?



Madge

You've been watching Downton abbey haven't you. To answer your question sounds like an old wive's tale to me. I think maybe a lot of pregnancies at that time are from people who have stopped taking precautions because they think they've hit the menopause.



Mariana

I don't think it necessarily true. I think when a woman enters that part of her life it's the last thing on her mind and may even think she can't get pregnant right then. But surprise. It happens.



Alden

I wouldn't think so. It's a fact that older women have a harder time getting pregnant, and are more at risk for miscarriages and birth defects because their egg quality has decreased over time.
