i am 36, when have you experienced first premenopause symptoms?

Posted , 10 users are following.

hello,

i am 36, with 2 little girls (5+2), and a few months ago i started to have irregular periods with spotting/bleeding in between, funny skin & hair, joint & muscle pain...i've had pelvic pain on mostly the left side where my ovary is, but nothing could be found in various ultrasounds, examinations...blood test fine, thyroid fine, i even had a colonoscopy...i can't sleep anymore because i am so anxious that i have cancer or sth...but doctors keep telling me i'm fine.

my gynacologist prescribed a bc pill that i believe was quite high in estrogen that was having terrible side effects on me, with panic attacks, terrible. i stopped taking it after 2 cycles, but i am still feeling shaky, dizzy and tired...

a few days ago they found a small functional cyst which unfortunately ruptured and bled into my abdomen. it was removed via keyhole 2 ago and i am already feeling a lot better - the surgeon said all looking perfect in my tummy. the cyst was on the right ovary, but i have had pain on my left side for more than 3 months now!so i am still not closer as to what have might caused that...i am feeling so exhausted from all these worries, and i have no idea where to turn to next.

they checked my hormones when i was taking the pill which obviously only showed the hormones from the pill.

i am also suffering from a bit of a cough since a few weeks which i think is due to reflux, with some nasty mucus in the back of my throat, so now i am thinking i have lung cancer...

how much of a mess am i? i've had a lot of stress last year, working 2 much, lost 2 loved ones, and people keep telling me i need to relax. but how i am supposed to do that if i am bleeding on and off, with pain etc...which is worrying me sick?!

    Hi susanne

    I'm sorry for what you are going through. You need to get away and just stop thinking negative thoughts. 

    I have had bad anxieties and panic attacks yes it is scary. You have been through a lot with that cyst that bled into your abdomen 

    Just take it easy and pray to God to help you
