Hi all
I recently posted a long list of early menopause symptoms, and explained that because I’m 32, I felt my GP (female) dismissed my concerns.
I just wanted to share that I spoke to a really nice (male) GP who listened to me. When I mentioned early menopause, he said “Well yes, I didn’t want to alarm you, but that’s something we should look into”. Hearing those words brought me such a relief! So tomorrow I have a blood test which will check my hormones (he mentioned FSH and testosterone, along with some others).
He also said he will prescribe me “a sort of hormonal medication that can try to reset the menstrual cycle”. I have no idea what this is until tomorrow, but he said I should take it regardless of my blood test results.
Thank you to those of you who replied to my first post. I’ll keep you all updated.

UPDATE: My FSH, LH and prolactin results came back normal. I believed GP was testing my testosterone and progesterone, but there was nothing on their system. As much as I’m glad my results are normal, I’m left very confused about what’s going on with my body. Feel free to look over my other posts, but the main things that are bothering me are:
Irregular periods, lasting up to 16 days
Pulsatile tinnitus
Head pressure
Muscle twitching all over
Regular diarrhoea
Acne
Internal shaking sensation
Insomnia
Anxiety/health anxiety due to the above.
There is a definite link between my symptoms worsening when I’m due/on my period.
Is there anything else I should be getting tested? I’m at a loss for what’s causing this but do feel it’s hormonal because of the patterns.
Could estrogen/progesterone be playing a part in this? I’m still awaiting the results from a private test for those.
As previously mentioned, my thyroid is fine, and all other bloods normal. I know there are many of you who are very knowledgeable when it comes to hormones, so I’d appreciate any suggestions.
Thank you x
