Hi , I ended up having premature menopause in 2012 aged 25 as a result of treatment for cancer. The thought of not being able to have my own child never bothered me until recently , when I now find myself resenting people including family and friends who don't appreciate how fortunate they are being able to have their own child . I can't help but feel robbed and as though I'm being punished . I just wondered if there was anyone else who feels this way or has felt this way and what do you do/ have you done about it?

    read this article.  

    "Menopause reversal restores periods and producs fertile eggs".

    I think there are some who do it in the USA.

    I can well understand your feeling this way.  I assume from your post that the treatment was successful, which is wonderful, but now I think you should go back to your doctors and discuss this issue with them.  Fertility treatment is advancing all the time.  Good luck, you deserve a break.
