Hello Everyone,
I am Jessica and I am 36 and have recently been told I am going through an early menopause, this was a bit of a shock to both of us and the symptoms started about 6 months ago when I started getting hot flushes which initially my husband though amusing as I would need to kick the duvet off during the night as I was so hot, when usually I would still want the electric blanket on in May, I have felt tired and I am used to working long hours which I enjoy and I have also become very irritable and short tempered, and ache a lot.
I hadn't had irregular periods as I am on the pill although the last couple of withdrawal bleeds have been a bit on the light side to say the least. Hubby and I don't have any children and while they weren't planned my GP who has been next to useless saying its just a matter of course and early menopause isn't that uncommon and hasn't even suggest a blood test but added it would be very difficult for me to conceive now if I wanted to (hubby had a vasectomy a couple of months back and we are waiting for it to take effect).
My Libido is still there but its starting to feel drier down there than I would like. Its great to read some of the other post on here and know that I on not the only person going through the change.
Kind regards,
Jess.
