Artchic,

You have a strong family history of early menopause. Mother and 3 aunts = a lot. I take it, Mother did not have sisters who had normal or late menopause? If that is right, that means that the history is extremely strong.

I have the opposite history and I can tell you - it does run in the family. My late mother had such trouble well after 50 because her ovaries kept working, and being a breast cancer patient, she did not need that extra estrogen, so the dr's had to CAUSE menopause in her - it was not coming on its own. My cousin - my mom's niece - had her firstborn, a single birth, without any medical fertility treatment, when she was 3 months shy of 45.

So given the strong family history, I would look into freezing eggs as your highest priority right now. Dating etc. can come later. It is expensive, but, your being worried and anxious and apprehensive and unhappy and depressed all the time is also "costly" - if not in monetary terms, but still costly. If you freeze eggs, you would release yourself from constant worry and that alone might make you happy enough to attract good dating material without effort. So I would seriously look into the options for freezing eggs.
