Hi all,

Just wondering if the symptoms over the last few years I’ve been having could be early menopause?

I’m 26 years old, have under active thyroid and PCOS. I was on Desogestrel up for a few years up until Feb 2020. I came off the pill as recommended by my GP as I’d been really struggling with losing any weight despite a healthy and active life style. I also had a stage of intermittently bleeding for approx 6 weeks, so I was also referred me for a scan (came back fine).

Having been off the pill for almost a year now, I haven’t had a period, still really struggling with my weight, and find I’m very irritable! Suffering with vaginal dryness/pain during sex.

Any thoughts welcome.**

    Hi .

    i am 29 and have Premature ovarian failure basically early menopause. I was diagnosed because my FSH levels were high 3 times with a month in between each test. I also had an internal ultrasound with should no eggs developing in my ovaries. Coming off the pill can disrupt your cycle for up to a year . Also PCOS and thyroid issues can effects how regularly your periods are .I would try and find a Gynecologists who specialise in this kind of time.

    Hope this helps.
