I have asked questions on here about my abnormal menstral cycles and got some great feed back that really helped calm fears, but I finally went to the doctor, me and my fiancé have been trying to get pregnant for about 9 1/2 months and for the passed 4 months I have not had a period, I took a bunch of home pregnancy test and out of like 10 only noe came back positive, so I decited there must be something else wrong, so I went to the doctor and they told me my body had stopped producing hormones and I was headed into the early stages of menopause so being I'm only 19 they gave me a shot to start my period and I had to go back for a shot of hormones and now they put me on birth control for the next month I have to take female vitamins , they said I will be fine now but to say the least I'm a little shook up, and input or support would be great, if everything goes as expected we should be able to start trying in a few months they doctors said we should have no problems but I am a little hesitant...

Did they give you blood tests before coming to that conclusion, I would hope so.

Early menopause I would say that is rare, but if you had a hormone boost and they believe you still have the oppurtunity to get pregnant I would just continue trying.

If you want reassurance is it possible to see a different doctor for a second opinion?

I am sure that will confirm or give you more information.

You I got 4 blood test because they didn't believe it was menopause, I can say I hate the side effects of the hormones its driving me nuts, but its all worth it

Not to worry. I went through the same thing at 26. Went through the shots to start the period, hormone shots, had to take premarin and progesterone (now they have prempro)...

Round about 6 months into this, I found out that I was pregnant with my daughter, she is now 13. I have a 5 year old now too.

Sometimes mother nature just throws us a curve ball.

Keep your chin up and just know that every once in a while we just need a little jump start to get going again.

Thanks so much its really great hearing from someone that has went through the same thing, its stressfull and scary to say the least!!

Oh, yes it is!! I know EXACTLY what you are going through!!

I lived in Alaska at the time, had a part-time job and NO insurance. Costly, and they never really found out what was wrong with me, but one morning I woke up with some really strange cramps... rushed to the doctor only to find out that I was 4 months pregnant.

That is wonderful to hear, I had a miscarage almost 2 years ago I was young and it was un expected, but after all that has happened since then, I scared myself into thinking that must have been my only chance to have children, I'm just really glad to hear success come out of this!
