Me too I’m 32 and this spring my ob said I’m officially post menopause. My last menses was four years ago as well. Confirmed with blood test. My estrogen levels are zero as well. and she confirmed my ovaries are atrophy with an ultrasound. Wishing you the best on this new journey, and hope you can get some relief with your hot flashes and headaches

Are you taking HRT

Hello 🙂 This website is a brilliant resource for early/premature menopause: https://www.daisynetwork.org/ HRT would probably be very beneficial, as it sounds like you aren't producing your own oestrogen anymore. Have they given you any indication of waiting time to see the specialist? 🩷

Hi ,they just said it takes long to see a gynaecologist it's been months waiting .Thanks for the website info will visit it .I'm just really clueless

@Pamela - I would give it a chase up, and also ask your GP surgery if they have a menopause specialist in the surgery, some do, and they may be able to prescribe and do the necessary bloods at this stage. It's really not on that they just expect you to wait indefinitely without treatment. 🩷

I will give it a try

Have you looked into perimenopause? Because I think that's what I am dealing with

I have the flashes and sleep with both the house fan and windows open. All levels ok. Just waiting, I suppose.

@Al Co I sleep with fan on too it's horrible

@Dee I think I'm actually past it now what have you been experiencing
