I know what you are going through but you are really young to be in post menopause I just found out yesterday that I am in post menopause through my blood test I got back and I'm 46. Its a good thing that I don't want to have kids.
I'm sorry you are going through this at a young age, it frusterating with all the symptoms that come with this.
I hope you feel better.

I'm so sorry you are going through this at 36 and I feel for you. Just try to stay positive you never know maybe your period will come back but you never know. I will keep you in my prayers. Things will work out.

a friend of my daughter's is in the sme position as you but she found out at 30 (it was due to a hereditary condition) however she found a doctor (I'm not sure if he was a French doctor or a Belgian one, we live in France) and he's had succes with young post menopausal women with an in vitro fertility treatment. Anyway she's going down this route now. Don't despair, there are lots of doctors working in this field it might not be as final as you think.

I am so sorry to hear this, but I have to tell you exactly one year ago, I had bloodwork done and the GYN told me I was post-menopause as well. I am 56 so I wasn't so surprised to hear it, even though it had only been 3-4 mths without a cycle. Mind you, I had quite a few symptoms to support the thought process, except I had not gone a full year without a cycle.
Ehhh.mmm...imagine my surprise when April came around and my cycles started back up and then quit in October only to return in December. I had an Ultrasound done and had my original GYN explain to me how someone else could declare me Post Menopause by blood work. Point is, they can't really. Not sure what all is happening with you, but even at my age, there is enough estrogen still cycling that my sensible (not the other GYN that jumped the gun on assessing my status) GYN insists that we use precautions-as believe me, at 56 and my husband being 61, we are not interested in having children at this point.
Please get another opinion.
Sending you big hugs from across the pond!
Annie xxxx

I am giving you a big hug at this point.
I am so sorry to hear about this and at a young age to. I am 49 and have very slight symptoms of this state of age. My advice would be to look after yourself and if you are not managing to get your head in a good place. Please go if you can and talk to someone out there.
Take care and say hello or talk anytime x
Jerry.
