I felt like my hormones were out of balance 3 years ago. My OB had my FSH checked which showed a post menospause level even though I was still getting a cycle and have since then. Last month is the first time I have ever missed a cycle. I am 43, anyone gone through this? My OB has not been helpful .

so early menopause is normally defined by your period actually stopping for 12 months before the the age of 45. Though preimenopause can start from about 40. FSH levels are not a reliable method of determining where you are in menopause as they fluctuate on daily basis . To get more accurate results they should be taken at least 3 times at the same point in your cycle , so an average can be determined. I have POI premature ovarian insufficiency basically early menopause. i am 29 and when my symptoms first started in my early 20 they were missing period , mood swings and hot flushes. Hope this helps you.
