Early Menopause???

[StrawberryMumma]

You would have to think it's unlikely wouldn't you? I'm sure there is another reason. I wouldn't worry about feeling like a wally by asking your GP! Just see what they say.

My mum went through early menopause too, think she was mid 30's when things headed that way. Good reason for having kids young isn't it.You never know what's around the corner.

Let us know how you get on

Unfortunately I know of someone who has early menopause and they were diagnosed in their late 20's so it is possible. Particularly with a family history.

Mum has always been on my back to have children early. My nana was only 40 when she went through menopause after having 11 kids.

I remember reading somewhere that you are only born with a certain number of eggs and that this can be inherited and as I started getting my period at 10 where as my mum was 18... If that is true it would make sense that I am reaching the end...

It doesn't happen all at once though does it, it's more of a gradual thing right? I'm off to do some more googling

Hi Michelle
Menopause would be very unusual at your age although not unknown. There are many other problems that could cause your symptoms. I would suggest that you go to see your doctor, don’t mention menopause but tell him/her what your symptoms are. Your doctor could then do the appropriate tests.
