Hello all, Ive been having irregular cycles most of my adult life. I've been trying to get pregnant for years with no luck. My partner recently proposed to me and i said yes. I just have the coldest feet because i don't know if ill ever be able to become pregnant. I have really irregular cycles. Sometimes ill miss an entire month or two with no cycle. Then ill start spotting brown and black maybe a little pink. Followed by a really long really heavy cycle, with clots. That lasts well over two weeks. I'm scared to go to the doctor because of the fear of hearing i may not ever be able to become pregnant. I know this is very foolish of me. When i google my symptoms it seems to find the worst, cervical cancer, fibroids, polyps, pcos, and menopause. I'm terrified but i know i have to get over my fears. So I'm going to make a doctors appointment when I'm off my period. My questions is, has anyone experienced this as well? If so if you don't mind sharing your outcome i would like to hear.
Hi . I have Premature ovarian failure , i was diagnosed at 24. I had very painful and heavy periods as a teenager. Though very regular every 28 days . When i turned 18 they became very close together every 18 days so i went to my doctor and they put on pill . i tried that for 3 years and it was awful, the side effects were horrible for me. I stopped taking them and period were weird for a bit. Then after a while got more normal and they started skipping and getting lighter. i spent a 1 year trying to get my doctor to understand it was not stress causing the issue . I don’t know why i just knew it was not stress and something was wrong . I got lots of blood test and internal ultrasound. i was diagnosed by a specialist with premature ovarian failure basically early menopause at 24 and stopped having periods altogether by 27 . i am now 29 and trying to find HRT to stop menopause side effects.
it was hard find out i cant have children but to be honest over time you get use to the idea. I personally decided to adopt when i want children as i dont think egg donation would work for me due to fact hormones cause really horrible side effects for me.
my fiance has been so supportive and loving. we been together since we were 20 and he gone through it all with me.
you really need to go see a doctor. burying your head in sand will just make it so much worse when you do find out .
Hope this helps
