Premature Ovarian Failure

hi everyone just wondering if anyone has any experience with premature ovarian failure. for those that do not know premature ovarian failure is when you lose function of your ovaries before 40 in my case im 25 i was diagnosed at 24. its basically like menopause excepts its before your time obviously. im wondering if anyone has ever gotten a period years after a diagnosis, or if had a successful pregnancy. thanks for reading

I'm not entirely familiar with this condition, but as I have a embarrassingly long list of pelvic issues, I have read a lot about ovarian function pertaining to endo, PCOS, med/surg menopause, etc.

From what you're saying, it sounds like your ovarian reserve is at risk? Also, your ovaries are no longer releasing the hormones properly?

I'm not sure there is much that can be done to jumpstart them, so to speak. But you could harvest your eggs now and preserve them. A reproductive endocrinologist would be the one to go see, if you ever want to have children. Then HRT should help you prevent menopausal issues related to losing your E and P.

Is your uterus okay? Is this strictly an ovarian issue? Sorry, I have a lot of questions, because if it is strictly ovarian, then all your fertility hopes are not lost at all. IVF may be an option for you when you're ready, but get to a R.E. asap to learn more.

Sorry you're going through this. My pelvic issues (which include ovarian cysts and infertility) have really hurt me, mentally, emotionally, and even spiritually. If I may give you any advice, be patient with yourself. When a woman's reproductive health goes haywire, she goes through intense waves of grief and it isn't typically something easy and fast, as all the implications start to hit home. I'm a member of several huge support groups for each of my worst conditions and I have seen a lot of women in a great deal of emotional pain who are getting little to no real support at home. If you can find a group and join it, you might really benefit. I hate to admit this, but after all my surgeries and treatments, PTSD, and the harsh realities of my future sinking in and morphing into the deepest depression of my life, I don't know if I would still be here without the ladies in my group. Don't be afraid to contact me. I may not know exactly what your going through, but no woman should ever have to feel alone with these things. I can't emphasize enough how important having some support is.

Hugs, sister.
