Menopause Support Group

Menopause is the physiological cessation of menstrual cycles associated with advancing age. It normally occurs in women between the ages of 45 and 55, when the body begins to slow and stop the production of eggs, estrogen and progesterone production decreases, and menstruation diminishes, eventually stopping altogether.

im 35 yrs with hyperthyroidism and last week I found out through blood testing that I’m going through premenopause. I was told my left ovary is fine but right ovary wasn’t seen through the X-ray, she told me I wasn’t able to produce a baby.. Then she said I could try IVF donation of an egg. I been crying off and on through out the week. I told my mom about my health issue yesterday and she told me that she went through menopause at 36yrs... So I won’t go crazy I figured let me join some type of women’s group... it’s very overwhelming. I’m taking things day by day. My boyfriend is very supportive

Hi. I am so sorry no one responded yet to your post. I totally understand what you are going through and pray fervently that you are successful in getting pregnant. I am full menopausal and started down this road in my forties. Watching my mom go through it when I was young ws difficult enough, bu tot go through this childless is stretching me way beyond what I thought I could ever handle. The reason I used "thought" is because I am full meno now and was not successful in child-bearing. It's not fun and there is a lot of pain along with the mood swings and everything else. So I really hope you are able to get pregnant. It can make the rest of this experience more tolerable with children to call you mommy.

Are you okay? How are you feeling and what is happening? Do you have friends who can support you through your grief? You will need them. I've been there, believe me. I'm still there and whenever I find joy, I experience it to the fullest. Right now it doesn't last.

Sorry I haven’t been on here in a while just trying to stay positive and take things day by day. Yes I’m talking to my cousin she is 3 yrs older then me. I been put back on birth control pills to restart my period and it worked, I been on them for 3 months now and my periods been regular each month. I made a appointment with Loma Linda hospital, CA and I was told that my uterus lining is thick and I have eggs, also I have a Fibroid that needs to be removed before I start the whole IVF process. Talking with my cousin I found out that she had a lot of fibroids at the age of 17 and was told she couldn’t get pregnant, she now has a 4 yr old son. I continue to pray and talk to GOD in my own special way.

I am so happy you are back into your youth! So you have to take the pill; big deal. You are on your way to becoming pregnant and having children. I pray very fervently that you are able to conceive and give birth. Post an announcement when your pregnancy is successful. I look forward to us being able to celebrate a victory over fibroids and hormonal chaos.
