Trust in the Lord. I’m in the same boat. Got diagnosed with menopause at 35 and not able to have children “according to the doctors” but I’m trusting God
So brave to share. Really puts in perspective how us young people can take our health for granted. Things can change so quickly. I wish you the best and I'm eager to see your next video.
Thank you for sharing something which must have been so emotional. No matter what happens I hope you have happiness and health in your future. You're strong and brave and I have my fingers crossed for you!
Oh, Lillian! :( I have been watching you for a number of years, this devastates me to hear. I wish only the best for you, I have always thought that you would make a wonder mother one day, I still believe that you will be. Please be strong through this, we are all hoping the best for you.
You know my heart breaks for you my sweet, little Lily. I'm so very proud of you for sharing your story. Reading the many comments...I had no idea that there are so many YOUNG women suffering in a similar way. I wish I could hug every single one of them!
I am so sorry to hear that you are going through all of this at such a young age! Thank you so much for sharing your journey. I’m anxious to watch your next video about stopping ivf I think I’m going to cry! You seem like such a beautiful girl inside and out and my prayers are with you to have your own experience one day. I believe ❤️❤️❤️
You are so strong! I'm 26 and I have a step son. Ive been in his life since he was 2 and hes now 10. Ive never given birth to a child, but let me tell you, the love I have for my son is is unconditional. I hope that you guys have the greatest luck with having a baby but take comfort in knowing that even if it doesn't happen there is a child out there that you will meet and one day they will become your world. In sending you and your fiancé nothing but love and good vibes.
You have such a nurturing spirit about you and I really hope you can have children wether its the traditional way or not! Have faith, things will work out. 💜
I'm so sorry to hear about your health issues. Thank you for sharing this, I know it must be hard. I've been watching you for years and I remember in one of your older videos, it was a q and a or something and you said you felt your purpose in life was to be a mom. I thought it was so sweet because you're so beautiful and were pursuing acting so I was surprised to hear that answer. And then you had a couple videos with your niece and it was so clear to see the motherly love that you have inside you. I can only imagine the devastation you must feel but as you know, hope is not lost! Aside from adoption or other ways to be a mom there are so many stories of women who became pregnant after being told they could not. My very good friend never thought she could have kids and then, in her late 30's, she became pregnant and now has a beautiful 4 yr old daughter AND 2 yr old son! She was a little late in the game and VERY surprised but it happens! I wish you and Solomon the best when it comes to your future. You two seem like you'd make wonderful parents! :)
Thank you for being Brave, Lillian. It just shows how fragile the human body is. That is what I took from this. Which is really crazy how I put my body through so much harm and stress, when it is so precious and fragile and needs to be protected and prioritized. Thats why I am not seeing my Aunt on the holidays this year because she re-traumatizes me and sometimes I miss a period from the stress she puts me through. By avoiding my family I hope to remain fertile and keep my youth. Thank you for spreading awareness. It really does show how fragile our bodies are.
We hope that you are doing well and that all things will work out for you, and that have the beautiful baby you deserve and want so. Thoughts and prayers go out to you, dear Lillian.
Thanks for sharing your story. I lost my period at age 14, and was diagnosed with unexplained POF at the age of 15, and I'm 25 now. I've been taking hormone replacement therapy since then, which has helped me immensely, even though it look years working with my endocrinologist to find the right dosage for me. The fact that I am not able to have biological children was really hard for me to come to terms with, I am lucky that the HRT has kept my womb healthy, and my country has 2 rounds of government funded IVF for cases like mine, which can include an egg donation, so I am hopeful that that is how I will be able to have a child in the future. Anyway, sorry for blurting out my own story in the comment section, but just letting you know there are a few of us out here if you ever want to talk, Lots of love xx
Hi Gabby, I'm the same as you pretty much. Are you in the UK? you will rarely get two rounds for free, I am not getting any people I live in the wrong postcode. Just something to bare in mind, you can find out more at your local GP and fertility NHS hospital. We have had to private as basically my postcode is Warwickshire but my address says Leicestershire. So no funding, and the funded clinics have a 1-3 year waiting list. I talk a bit more on my channel about this. Best of luck xx
Hi! No I actually live in New Zealand, and we're in the middle of an election at the moment but the party who is likely to take over government have actually promised 3 rounds which is exciting. Gosh sorry to hear about your experience with public funding - that sounds super annoying!
For any woman with unexplained POF, did you ever have a head/ brain injury? I'm currently waiting for tests to see if I'm going through POF and it may be linked to a brain injury I had as a child. It can damage the pituitary gland that regulates hormones.
Thanks for talking about menopause and sharing your story! I've started to see the symptoms already and has since last year been aware that I wouldn't be able to get pregnant after the age of 22. Today I'm 19. I went through IVF last fall so I can get pregnant later if I want but I've been feeling so depressed finally understanding I'm going to have to go through the menopause for 10 more years. And for the moment I'm trying so hard not to let it affect my college studies etc. It feels great to hear about others sharing the same path as me. So again, thanks for sharing, and for making me feel a little better about myself today.
I know I should be grateful I still have the possibility to go through IVF later and probably become pregnant but it's so hard to deal with this kind of information when I have no one to discuss this with. I sweat a lot, I usually have to shower at least once a day and change clothes frequently, I also struggle with sleeping and I feel angry and sad all the time. I've contacted my doctor to ask her if she knows a therapist I could go and talk to about this, especially considering I'm only 19 and I don't want it to affect my studies...
I completely understand how you're feeling...I'm also 26 and I've never even gotten my period, and no one knows why. I've been to many doctors but none of them can quite figure it out...it's just never happened. I basically had to come to terms with my infertility when I was only 18, and I can say, as someone who also wishes to be a mother more than anything, it does get easier. I fell back a bit because I'm at the age where some of my friends are starting to have babies and start families, and I'm not going to lie, I do get a bit sad knowing I can't have that experience, but I've come to terms with it and it does get easier. I promise. I still plan to be a mother through adoption, and I look forward to that day because I know that child will be a huge blessing to my life. I believe everything happens for a reason, and this is all a part of the bigger picture. Why? I have no idea, but it is what it is. You can get through this, too. I pray your fertility treatments work out for you and that you get to have that wonderful experience of pregnancy and having a biological child of your own. Good luck to you and Solomon. You can get through this. 💗
The Drs. told me that I had POS and that I wouldn't have any kids except through IVF. After a lot of praying, a few years later, we got preg on our own with no help at all. That same Dr that told me I couldn't get preg worked at the Obgyn that I went to. I put the ultrasound on his desk and told him God had bigger plans for me. I understand where you're coming from. Thank you for sharing your story. You are in my prayers!
I feel like doctors are either way too insensitive and exaggerate by saying "you'll never have kids" or they don't mention at all. Doctors need real training about how to deal with and talk to women about infertility issues.
Ashley07 wow amazing. Isn’t God good? I’m waiting on my miracle from him as well. Doctor told me I can’t have kids naturally except through IVF. it’s so heart breaking but I know God is able to see me through all of this. I’m so happy for you even though I don’t know you.
What were ur fsh and amh levels? I am 26 and my fsh level is 28 and amh is 0.03. Doctor told me about iVF too but i want to conceive on my own without ivf as we dont have the cash as well
I'm hoping that everything works out for you. I know how heartbreaking it is being faced with the prospect of infertility. Sending all the love and well wishes to you
Thank you I found your video. I thought I was alone but after I found this video I feel like I need to visit my OB again. I was diagnosed with POF at 28. It was devastating, really. I really wanted to have children of my own. Until now, I’m still hopeful and always praying. Thank you for sharing your story.
The reason I am sharing this is to say thank you for sharing your story! You are so brave! I have been having very similar symptoms and started seeing an OB very recently. Haven't gotten any results from blood tests yet, but I am very similar to you. Started looking up my symptoms: hot flashes everyday (which my teachers like to tell me that I "have no idea what it's really like, honey"), essentially never have my period (incredibly irregular since I started my period in the 5th grade), other more personal symptoms/etc.) I am only recently turned 18 and I am praying for healthy results. I come from a family where everyone has their own auto-immune disease (or several) and just an overall very unhealthy genetic line. So, I am just praying for healthy results.
Lillian, I’m 26 and was just diagnosed with POF this week. I’ve been so so upset with this diagnosis. My uterus is healthy, so there is a chance of doing IVF with a donor egg. It’s a lot for my husband and I to think about. You are not alone. Thanks for sharing
@@LillianMasie You need to stop being vegan straight away and include high-quality nutrient-dense animal foods like pasture-raised eggs and grass-fed beef liver if you want to reverse your condition!
I went through unexplained POF in high school (diagnosed at 15). I'm not 35. I am so glad the girls today have CZcams, have YOU, as a source to reference and come to for support. I was alone.I grieved alone Nobody around me had heard of this before, and definitely didn't have any girls my age suffering too. I'm glad this wonderful wacky world of internet exists and can bring awareness and bring a community of support. Much love!! xx
I totally relate! I was diagnosed at 18 with hashimoto's and POF and I never met anyone until a couple years ago with a similar story. I'm now 34 and still single. It has been tough but God is my comfort. I wish I would've had a Doctor like this young lady.
I'm sorry you went through that, but you are not alone. I was diagnosed early menopause 2 years ago ( age 26 too). Husband also had infertility issue so we had to save the IVF cost. We just went the IVF process, they retrievered 5 folics, 3 were mature and one egg was fertilized. Now we have one embryo that we are going to transfer January 10th. I still get my regular period and have no any other symptoms. Don't ever give up girl💕
Hi Lilian! I am sorry for all of your troubles. I was diagnosed with an unknown/undiscovered autoimmune disorder. I have abnormal proteins in my blood, proteins they have never seen before. I was told to go paleo and a lot of my symptoms have cleared up. I also was diagnosed with hypothyroid. My worst fear is not being able to have kids. I'm very concerned now, since I have had signs that I am premenopausal ever since I first got my period. Thank you so much for sharing. I'm going back to my endocrinologist as soon as possible. Sending you positive thoughts!💕
I missed my period this month and now I'm terrified that I might have this... I've been crying about it for about 2 weeks now. I wish you all the best.
I feel bad that you have all of this crap being thrown at you but i KNOW its making you a stronger better woman. It may seem shitty now but i truly believe you'll get what you want out of life! You seem like an amazing person and you deserve nothing but good things. I do think you'll get your little baby someday... may be more of a struggle to get him or her but it'll make you appreciate motherhood even more. Good luck! I'll keep you in my thoughts.
I'm so sorry to hear that you are struggling with so many health issues especially potential infertility. I remember when I was diagnosed with PCOS at 21 and hearing that my chances of having a child would be so much harder. It was such a difficult conversation to have with my now husband when I was 24, and be honest that I may not be able to have children naturally. When I found out I was pregnant with my son at 27 I was so grateful that I was given the opportunity to have at least one child on my own. I really hope the best for you on your journey.
I 'm 20 & I was just diagnosed with POF. It was hard to hear my diagnosis, I started to tear up as soon as I heard my doctor say "premature"; like you I had fallen into the web of google searching my symptoms, I was somewhat expecting it. My doctor immediately listed all the complications that come with POF and the treatment methods, quite frankly she scared the crap out of me. The lack of fertility, that was the hardest to hear. They want me to take MHT, I'm not what I want to do yet. I'm not fully at peace with my diagnosis but I'm glad to finally have a diagnosis, now I know what I am facing. Thank you for sharing your story. -Gabriella
Thank you for sharing your story! I am so sorry you have to go through this. It's true what you said about not being alone. I do not have the same condition as you, but I also have concerns about my fertility. I'm 25 now, but when I was 19 I was diagnosed with cancer. Many of my treatments were extremely aggressive, and one possible effect of those treatments is infertility. I still am not sure whether or not I will be able to have children some day. Like you, being a mom is something I want more than anything!
Wow, I can't imagine what its like to be diagnosed with cancer, and at such a young age. I'm so sorry you had to go through that. I hope your fertility was not effected. I know that would be devastating. I'm hoping for the very best for you.
So hard... I was recently diagnosed with premature menopause. While I'm older than you are, it was still devastated. Prayers for your strength and grace through this process. So brave of you to share. I've only told my sister.
zoeeve17 lots of love Zoe, don’t go through it alone. Through my infertility journey I have joined so many Facebook pages and messaged so many people in the same situation as me and it really brings hope and comfort. Lots of ❤️
I was diagnosed with Premature Ovarian Failure at age 25. I'm 33 now. Unfortunately, it was too late for me to have children naturally, as all of my eggs were already gone. I know exactly what you are going through and I am so sorry. The first year was devastating for me, but as time passed, it got easier to accept. Hormone Replacement Therapy has helped tremendously with the night sweats, hot flashes, depression, foggy brain, lack of concentration, and fatigue. I felt like I lost myself for awhile until I finally found the right dosage of estrogen and progesterone. I'm doing so much better now! As for you, stay strong, girl! You are a beautiful person inside and out. Sending warm thoughts and prayers your way! ❤
My heart goes out to you. I'm 26, too, and all I want to be is a stay at home mom (when my husband and I are ready to enter that time in our lives). I hope you're able to become a mom in all of the ways you want to.
Oh Lillian, I am so so sorry. Thank you for sharing, I know your videos help so many of us❤️ I hope our comments help you back. Sending the best wishes your way💜
Praying you have plenty of eggs to retrieve ❤️❤️ My fertility journey was much different to where I kept getting pregnant but I kept miscarrying. We would see the heartbeat and then the next time, the heartbeat had stopped. We have 5 angle babies now BUT through lots of testing, too many hormones, many nights of hot flashes (due to the extra hormone suppositories, etc, we do have two rainbow babies. Life is so unfair sometimes and we might go through fertility struggles, BUT don't give up hope, because there still could be a chance to have a biological child of your own. I'm so glad you know this now and not 5 years from now when you guys started "trying." Ps I would love to adopt one day as well!
I am so sorry to hear this! My sis Ian's I all have similar reproductive problems. My oldest sister wanted desperately to have a child but she went through early menopause. They decided to go the embryo adoption route and had the full experience of being pregnant and having birth. My nephew is is beautiful, smart and hilarious and the light of our lives. Sending love and hugs!
I'm so sorry Lillian I am praying for you you deserve to have a child I don't know what I would do if I wasn't able to have children on my own I want that more than anything as well so I will be praying for you❤️
I was crying watching this! My heart breaks for you! Not only its infertility, you also have to deal with hot flashes and crazy hormones that you shouldn't have to deal with for awhile. I have PCOS. Where I get cysts on my ovaries from eggs and they rupture. It may be very hard for me to have children in the future. Luckily, going Vegan has actually reversed it for me.I wish nothing but the best for you and Solomon. Lots of love ❤️
S R it's actually been my birth control as far as treating the pcos lol. It's amazing how it just got rid of the cysts and regulated everything without medicine or brthcontrol.
Stacey McCaa IT was the same with me. My doctor simply didn't find any abnormalities anymore when she checked me about a year after starting a vegan diet. However, when asking her if my diet could have affected my healing, she responded totally negative, claiming veganism was unhealthy. I will never talk about veganism to her again, but I have a five months old son now and that is what really counts.
I was 14 years old when I was diagnosed with POF... i was a child worried about not being able to have babies of my own and that broke my heart. I was going through such a horrible time, crying my eyes out everyday. I’ve been on medication to help get my period and haven’t had a “normal” period without my medication for a few years. It’s hard and frustrating and sometimes people just don’t get it. I Spent a lot of time pretending I was fine when I was 14 going through serious mood swings, hot flashes along with just being a teenager. I’m 18 now it’s still hard just a little less than it used to be. Praying for you and hoping for the best xo
I was diagnosed with POF shortly after being officially diagnosed with Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis. My Endo at the time referred me to a therapist since my mood was all over the place. I was then falsely diagnosed with thyroid cancer. I sought out a new Endo at Cedars Sianai in LA who retested and found I didn’t have cancer. I also have all of the symptoms of pernicious anemia (another autoimmune disease) and am treated for it although testing suggests I don’t have it. I understand all of the feelings you are enduring and wish all the best.
Thank you for uploading this I was recently diagnosed with premature ovarian failure (at 22) and it's something I'm really finding hard to wrap my head around. I was diagnosed with PCOS when I was 14 and knew I'd have fertility issues but my periods completely stopped at 17. I was told to lose weight and get active to try and kick start my periods again I've since lost 4 stone but still no periods. It's something that was on my mind constantly but due to health anxiety I've been too sacred to go back to the doctors. However I built the courage and went. They did the tests and 2 weeks ago it was confirmed my ovaries have failed. And I'm still in a bit of daze. I hope you don't mind me telling my story here too. I'm just grateful you are too and I think it's good for people to share when it comes to something that can make you feel so alone. I hope you're holding up and stay strong I know how you're feeling xxx
Jessie, thank you for your comment and for sharing your story too. I'm so glad you did. It is something I want to encourage, because it helps others if we can all be open and honest about what we're going through. So really, thank you so much. I'm so sorry to hear about your health issues and the state of your ovaries. I know it is hard and feels SO unfair. My heart aches for you. Thank you again, and I hope you stay strong too!
I know exactly what you're going through. I had no idea anyone was going through the same until I researched online. I wish things are becoming better for you. It is so difficult but we have to stay strong. 😘❤️
Thank you for sharing I was going through menopause from age 17 but was only diagnosed at 21. It was tough having to come to terms with the fact that I can’t have my own biological children
I appreciate your story, I have just been diagnosed as early menopause, low fertility and I am 26 - trying to source what the main causes are since it seems a little uncommon (?) IVF is on the cards, i hope you are well xx
Dear Lillian, thank you for being so brave and open about yourself. My story won't help you, but I know how it feels when they tell you something like that. I am 27 and just two years ago I got to know that I have 47 XXY chromosomes. I am a healthy, feminine looking women, I study music, I have no difficulties with sport or learning. But suddenly they told me this, which was devastating and it still is, but as a bonus, I am already in menopause, and I have no eggs at all. Basically I don't know how my body works, when I gain weight or when I get horrible acne, and then how to deal with it... And self confidence is something I never had so now it is even worse..Of course they told me, I can have an egg donor and I can give a birth because I have a healthy uterus, but they have no idea what can Y chromosome cause, what hormones do I need, if my ovaries should be removed because of risk of cancer. NOBODY KNOWS ANYTHING for two years now, I never felt more lonely and lost. I should be ready to settle down and have family, at the moment I am just struggling with depressions and nobody really gets me, because everybody is always sayin that I just feel sorry for myself and I can have a child from another egg- but that would be all nice if I didn't have XXY. So it is very tiring to explain it all over again and then feel so lonely..I know it is different story than yours, I know, but it feels kind of good or relieving that finally someone else admits that it hurts and it takes time. I can't believe I am on the same spot stuck for two years now. That is why I find your videos very inspirational and brave, thank you for doing this. I wish you all the best, stay strong. Love.
I think you have a really great doctor! I know from forums and myself, that here in europe, people search for their (imune) diseases for years, because they don't make the right tests. They get told they are healthy or its psychological/psychosomatic (but without to sending you to a psychologist). You were going to the doctor, at least getting a diagnosis and a plan to handle it (kind of). I don't want to say you have it easy (which is by far not the case), but I am surprised, how ahead of the game your doctor is.
I started facing mental issues like sleeplessness, anxiety and mild depression...we thought it as a product of overthinking...It was when we approach my gynecologist as we were planning a baby...I came to know about my condition...I am 33 and diagnosed with this premature menopause...the only alternative left with me is IVF and that too I have to get eggs from someone else....also this things comes with the possibility of ovarian cancer, it is so hard to deal...I can understand what you are going through
Omg!! I so sorry that really sucks. Now that u said that i can remember when in my early teens i used to litterly skip a period every month. I thought that it was odd and i was a virgin until the age of 18 when i lost it.
I can't imagine what it must be like to go through this. You have every right to take the time you need to grieve whatever you feel you need to. Never feel guilty for wanting a fully human experience. People will try to say what they think are comforting things like "oh think of how lucky you'll be to never get a period again" or "there are many ways to be a mom", and they mean well, but it ends up feeling hollow. So never feel guilty for wanting and missing and mourning your fully human experience.
Please be careful to say that to have kids is the "fully human" experience. I understand what you mean and I don't mean to be a nitpick, but people who choose NOT to have children and are still fully human, have the fully human experience, and lead fulfilling, loving, creative lives. People who do not have children (by choice or not) are not lesser. I know this is not your intent in the comment to criticize those without children, but language reflects ways of thinking and it can be alienating for those folks without kids. (And I have kids myself.)
+karin's gang I never said "having kids is the fully human experience" or any of the things you mentioned. I was talking specifically about things Lillian mentioned that seemed significant to her like regular periods and pregnancy and her emotional journey. But it's interesting to note that I am somehow responsible for possibly offending someone who read something I didn't even say or make reference to in my comments to another person's specific situation.
You're gonna have your children,I strongly believe. My relative was diagnosed with the same desease and had the same problem but now she has three children all healthy
I am got a premature menopause at 42 following IVF. That was due to very low egg reserves. However, in the last few weeks I have been really down on myself and my mood swings are crazy, flushes and night sweats have gotten more regular and sleeping very badly. And because I have my beautiful son now I wasn’t too upset or surprised when my doctor confirmed it. However, all the time as I can remember myself I wished to have a big family. So my husband suggested to me to use the surrogate mother. Even though I was surprised I decided to agree. I mean that I wish one more child so bad! After long researches we stopped at the Ukrainian clinic Biotexcom. We chose there an affordable program that cost like 30K Euro. This clinic impressed us by the highly qualified staff and modern technique. But I must say the bureaucratic runaround isn’t easy there. But I must note that Ukrainian lawyers helped us much! So just don’t be afraid and believe that everything is possible.
I was diagnosed with PCOS when I was 21. It happened to be when I had just gone off birth control, and that was the reason why all my hormones were SO insane. So my doctors were analyzing my body when it was in a state of real change and adjustment; I thought it was much worse than it actually was. It took a few months, but my hormones did level out - I still had the syndrome, but my body adjusted and I got my periods back. I have a bit of an idea of what you're going through. Our bodies are constantly seeking balance and when they're out of whack for whatever reason (it can be the smallest thing, including stress which you've been going through and this is making you MORE stressed), it can take some time to get balance back. Your body knows what it needs to do and what you're doing will give it a boost to get it there faster. Please try not to worry yourself sick about this; take it one step at a time (your body has been going through a lot with Addison's and medications you've been taking). Your hormones will change BACK OUT of post-menopause. You will have your babies and it will be beautiful. You'll be an amazing mom!!!
My story’s crazy too I’m now 35 mom of 6 kids one set of twins in there. About 3 years ago at 32 I stopped having periods randomly, having trouble sleeping and hot flashes. I didn’t know what was wrong with me. Went and saw my OB and she did testing came back I went into menopause my FSH came back crazy high 110. Me randomly after being fertile as heck. So I was referred to endocrinologist and she did more testing my FSH (folical stimulating hormone) came back even higher 124. My thyroid wasn’t functioning well either and I had to start thyroid meds. She put me on hormone replacement because my ovaries are dead and not making estrogen. Being in menopause 20 years to early is not good for bone heath etc. I’m now 35, a mom of 6 kids, Nurse I work out and try to eat healthy always have. Endocrinologist thinks it was some kind of autoimmune process. I have no family history of this. I’m just glad I had my kids young or there would be no kids. I’m going to try some of the vitamins you suggested here. Hope it helps. I feel alone in this because I haven’t met anyone who just randomly went into menopause at 32. No hysterectomy nothing. Dealing with all this, working full time, being exhausted has been hard. Crazy thing is I don’t have Addison’s disease and my thyroid now is failing 3 years after going into menopause
I've just stumbled upon your channel is your autoimmune disease called hasimotos ? My mother and me have it I'm turning 46 this month I also for 2 years didn't have a period approx 3 years ago now since then I've been regular 3 years straight now there's also a hasimotos Facebook group which is fantastic
You are SO brave and honest for sharing a difficult story to tell. Sending you all the love and prayers!
Thank you for the love and support
Trust in the Lord. I’m in the same boat. Got diagnosed with menopause at 35 and not able to have children “according to the doctors” but I’m trusting God
Thank you so much for sharing this with us! You inspire me to be stronger..THANK YOU❤💜
So brave to share. Really puts in perspective how us young people can take our health for granted. Things can change so quickly. I wish you the best and I'm eager to see your next video.
A big hug for you. Thank you for sharing this story. It helps me to understand what I am going through as my friends have no idea.
Praying for you and so glad that you are sharing your story with us.
Sending so much love/hope/prayers your way Lillian!
Thanks for sharing Lili!! Praying for you. 😘🙏🏼❤️
I’m so sorry you’re going through this. Sending all my positive vibes your way. 💕
I hope you know how helpful this video is to so many out there. Thank you Lilian... Been a follower since 5k
Tell me about I was diagnosed at 17 years of age and I come from a family that believe that kids and marriage are all you have to live for.
Thank you for sharing something which must have been so emotional. No matter what happens I hope you have happiness and health in your future. You're strong and brave and I have my fingers crossed for you!
Oh, Lillian! :( I have been watching you for a number of years, this devastates me to hear. I wish only the best for you, I have always thought that you would make a wonder mother one day, I still believe that you will be. Please be strong through this, we are all hoping the best for you.
You know my heart breaks for you my sweet, little Lily. I'm so very proud of you for sharing your story. Reading the many comments...I had no idea that there are so many YOUNG women suffering in a similar way. I wish I could hug every single one of them!
You are such a beautiful soul, inside and out. I wish you nothing but the best. I look forward to your future videos. Take care Lillian ❤️
This made me really sad but dont lose hope! I will pray for you ❤️ stay strong
You are sooo beautiful and brave!! I am beyond sorry you are going through this.
Sending you love Lilian. You are so brave, I wish you the best of luck and miracles! 💕
I'm so sorry Lilian! You are incredibly strong, don't ever give up. We love you very much ❤️
I am so sorry to hear that you are going through all of this at such a young age! Thank you so much for sharing your journey. I’m anxious to watch your next video about stopping ivf I think I’m going to cry! You seem like such a beautiful girl inside and out and my prayers are with you to have your own experience one day. I believe ❤️❤️❤️
You are so strong!
I'm 26 and I have a step son. Ive been in his life since he was 2 and hes now 10. Ive never given birth to a child, but let me tell you, the love I have for my son is is unconditional. I hope that you guys have the greatest luck with having a baby but take comfort in knowing that even if it doesn't happen there is a child out there that you will meet and one day they will become your world. In sending you and your fiancé nothing but love and good vibes.
I'm so sorry you are going through this at such a young age..I pray for you that everything will work out in the end xo
Thank you for being so brave and sharing your story with us. You are not alone in this, Lillian. Sending massive hugs and prayers your way. ❤️
You're so welcome, thank you for listening. I appreciate the love and prayers!
Ur strong lillian, stay strong. 💪🏻🌞 God is good.
Praying for you and your family. Stay strong through the storm..you are not alone. God Bless
So sorry you have to go through this! I wish you the best of luck on your journey to motherhood
You have such a nurturing spirit about you and I really hope you can have children wether its the traditional way or not! Have faith, things will work out. 💜
I'm so sorry to hear about your health issues. Thank you for sharing this, I know it must be hard. I've been watching you for years and I remember in one of your older videos, it was a q and a or something and you said you felt your purpose in life was to be a mom. I thought it was so sweet because you're so beautiful and were pursuing acting so I was surprised to hear that answer. And then you had a couple videos with your niece and it was so clear to see the motherly love that you have inside you. I can only imagine the devastation you must feel but as you know, hope is not lost! Aside from adoption or other ways to be a mom there are so many stories of women who became pregnant after being told they could not. My very good friend never thought she could have kids and then, in her late 30's, she became pregnant and now has a beautiful 4 yr old daughter AND 2 yr old son! She was a little late in the game and VERY surprised but it happens! I wish you and Solomon the best when it comes to your future. You two seem like you'd make wonderful parents! :)
Please please let's all pray for her and that her journey will be easier 💐
Stay strong beautiful 😊
Thank you for being Brave, Lillian. It just shows how fragile the human body is. That is what I took from this. Which is really crazy how I put my body through so much harm and stress, when it is so precious and fragile and needs to be protected and prioritized. Thats why I am not seeing my Aunt on the holidays this year because she re-traumatizes me and sometimes I miss a period from the stress she puts me through. By avoiding my family I hope to remain fertile and keep my youth. Thank you for spreading awareness. It really does show how fragile our bodies are.
We hope that you are doing well and that all things will work out for you, and that have the beautiful baby you deserve and want so. Thoughts and prayers go out to you, dear Lillian.
Wishing you the best Lillian!
Thanks for sharing your story. I lost my period at age 14, and was diagnosed with unexplained POF at the age of 15, and I'm 25 now. I've been taking hormone replacement therapy since then, which has helped me immensely, even though it look years working with my endocrinologist to find the right dosage for me. The fact that I am not able to have biological children was really hard for me to come to terms with, I am lucky that the HRT has kept my womb healthy, and my country has 2 rounds of government funded IVF for cases like mine, which can include an egg donation, so I am hopeful that that is how I will be able to have a child in the future. Anyway, sorry for blurting out my own story in the comment section, but just letting you know there are a few of us out here if you ever want to talk, Lots of love xx
What country are you from? I'm in Canada and we have one round. Thanks for sharing your experience
Hi Gabby, I'm the same as you pretty much. Are you in the UK? you will rarely get two rounds for free, I am not getting any people I live in the wrong postcode. Just something to bare in mind, you can find out more at your local GP and fertility NHS hospital. We have had to private as basically my postcode is Warwickshire but my address says Leicestershire. So no funding, and the funded clinics have a 1-3 year waiting list. I talk a bit more on my channel about this. Best of luck xx
Hi! No I actually live in New Zealand, and we're in the middle of an election at the moment but the party who is likely to take over government have actually promised 3 rounds which is exciting. Gosh sorry to hear about your experience with public funding - that sounds super annoying!
Gabby Reads wow Gabby so glad ur country has provided those things for you. That’s such a tough thing to go through 💋💋💋
For any woman with unexplained POF, did you ever have a head/ brain injury?
I'm currently waiting for tests to see if I'm going through POF and it may be linked to a brain injury I had as a child. It can damage the pituitary gland that regulates hormones.
Praying for you. 🙏🏻 stay strong.
Thanks for talking about menopause and sharing your story! I've started to see the symptoms already and has since last year been aware that I wouldn't be able to get pregnant after the age of 22. Today I'm 19. I went through IVF last fall so I can get pregnant later if I want but I've been feeling so depressed finally understanding I'm going to have to go through the menopause for 10 more years. And for the moment I'm trying so hard not to let it affect my college studies etc. It feels great to hear about others sharing the same path as me. So again, thanks for sharing, and for making me feel a little better about myself today.
I know I should be grateful I still have the possibility to go through IVF later and probably become pregnant but it's so hard to deal with this kind of information when I have no one to discuss this with. I sweat a lot, I usually have to shower at least once a day and change clothes frequently, I also struggle with sleeping and I feel angry and sad all the time. I've contacted my doctor to ask her if she knows a therapist I could go and talk to about this, especially considering I'm only 19 and I don't want it to affect my studies...
You are so beautiful inside and out, life will be good
I completely understand how you're feeling...I'm also 26 and I've never even gotten my period, and no one knows why. I've been to many doctors but none of them can quite figure it out...it's just never happened. I basically had to come to terms with my infertility when I was only 18, and I can say, as someone who also wishes to be a mother more than anything, it does get easier. I fell back a bit because I'm at the age where some of my friends are starting to have babies and start families, and I'm not going to lie, I do get a bit sad knowing I can't have that experience, but I've come to terms with it and it does get easier. I promise. I still plan to be a mother through adoption, and I look forward to that day because I know that child will be a huge blessing to my life. I believe everything happens for a reason, and this is all a part of the bigger picture. Why? I have no idea, but it is what it is. You can get through this, too. I pray your fertility treatments work out for you and that you get to have that wonderful experience of pregnancy and having a biological child of your own. Good luck to you and Solomon. You can get through this. 💗
Lots of love and prayers are sent your way! x
The Drs. told me that I had POS and that I wouldn't have any kids except through IVF. After a lot of praying, a few years later, we got preg on our own with no help at all. That same Dr that told me I couldn't get preg worked at the Obgyn that I went to. I put the ultrasound on his desk and told him God had bigger plans for me. I understand where you're coming from. Thank you for sharing your story. You are in my prayers!
I feel like doctors are either way too insensitive and exaggerate by saying "you'll never have kids" or they don't mention at all. Doctors need real training about how to deal with and talk to women about infertility issues.
Ashley07 love hearing stories like this 🙌🏼
Ashley07 wow amazing. Isn’t God good? I’m waiting on my miracle from him as well. Doctor told me I can’t have kids naturally except through IVF. it’s so heart breaking but I know God is able to see me through all of this. I’m so happy for you even though I don’t know you.
Wow congratulations i wish same happens to me too. Was you having your periods or had they stopped and you was on estrogen tablets xx
What were ur fsh and amh levels? I am 26 and my fsh level is 28 and amh is 0.03. Doctor told me about iVF too but i want to conceive on my own without ivf as we dont have the cash as well
You're an amazing, thank you for sharing your story with us! I'm sending you my love ♥️ Just know that we're here and we're always supporting you.
I'm hoping that everything works out for you. I know how heartbreaking it is being faced with the prospect of infertility. Sending all the love and well wishes to you
God bless you Lilian, I have same problem...
Thank you I found your video. I thought I was alone but after I found this video I feel like I need to visit my OB again. I was diagnosed with POF at 28. It was devastating, really. I really wanted to have children of my own. Until now, I’m still hopeful and always praying. Thank you for sharing your story.
The reason I am sharing this is to say thank you for sharing your story! You are so brave!
I have been having very similar symptoms and started seeing an OB very recently. Haven't gotten any results from blood tests yet, but I am very similar to you. Started looking up my symptoms: hot flashes everyday (which my teachers like to tell me that I "have no idea what it's really like, honey"), essentially never have my period (incredibly irregular since I started my period in the 5th grade), other more personal symptoms/etc.) I am only recently turned 18 and I am praying for healthy results. I come from a family where everyone has their own auto-immune disease (or several) and just an overall very unhealthy genetic line. So, I am just praying for healthy results.
Lillian, I’m 26 and was just diagnosed with POF this week. I’ve been so so upset with this diagnosis. My uterus is healthy, so there is a chance of doing IVF with a donor egg. It’s a lot for my husband and I to think about. You are not alone. Thanks for sharing
I also have infertility issues caused by endometriosis..hugs from the Philippines..you are a strong woman Lilian 🤗
Thank you so much for sharing your story x
Don't cry. be strong Lilian.. ohhh ur story so sad.
Stay strong Lillian, wonders do exist, don't give up 💖
Thank you! I won't give up! :)
@@LillianMasie You need to stop being vegan straight away and include high-quality nutrient-dense animal foods like pasture-raised eggs and grass-fed beef liver if you want to reverse your condition!
You are so brave, nobody talks about this stuff
I went through unexplained POF in high school (diagnosed at 15). I'm not 35. I am so glad the girls today have CZcams, have YOU, as a source to reference and come to for support. I was alone.I grieved alone Nobody around me had heard of this before, and definitely didn't have any girls my age suffering too. I'm glad this wonderful wacky world of internet exists and can bring awareness and bring a community of support. Much love!! xx
I totally relate! I was diagnosed at 18 with hashimoto's and POF and I never met anyone until a couple years ago with a similar story. I'm now 34 and still single. It has been tough but God is my comfort. I wish I would've had a Doctor like this young lady.
I'm sorry you went through that, but you are not alone. I was diagnosed early menopause 2 years ago ( age 26 too). Husband also had infertility issue so we had to save the IVF cost. We just went the IVF process, they retrievered 5 folics, 3 were mature and one egg was fertilized. Now we have one embryo that we are going to transfer January 10th. I still get my regular period and have no any other symptoms. Don't ever give up girl💕
I think your video is gonna help a lot of People ! Thank you for sharing ❤
Hi Lilian! I am sorry for all of your troubles. I was diagnosed with an unknown/undiscovered autoimmune disorder. I have abnormal proteins in my blood, proteins they have never seen before. I was told to go paleo and a lot of my symptoms have cleared up. I also was diagnosed with hypothyroid. My worst fear is not being able to have kids. I'm very concerned now, since I have had signs that I am premenopausal ever since I first got my period. Thank you so much for sharing. I'm going back to my endocrinologist as soon as possible. Sending you positive thoughts!💕
Did the Paleo diet work?
Thank you for sharing this this is what am going through right now it's sooo horrible
I missed my period this month and now I'm terrified that I might have this... I've been crying about it for about 2 weeks now. I wish you all the best.
Stay strong....,!!!! Lots of Love
stay strong Lillian!
Thank you!
I feel bad that you have all of this crap being thrown at you but i KNOW its making you a stronger better woman. It may seem shitty now but i truly believe you'll get what you want out of life! You seem like an amazing person and you deserve nothing but good things. I do think you'll get your little baby someday... may be more of a struggle to get him or her but it'll make you appreciate motherhood even more. Good luck! I'll keep you in my thoughts.
I'm so sorry to hear that you are struggling with so many health issues especially potential infertility. I remember when I was diagnosed with PCOS at 21 and hearing that my chances of having a child would be so much harder. It was such a difficult conversation to have with my now husband when I was 24, and be honest that I may not be able to have children naturally. When I found out I was pregnant with my son at 27 I was so grateful that I was given the opportunity to have at least one child on my own. I really hope the best for you on your journey.
I 'm 20 & I was just diagnosed with POF. It was hard to hear my diagnosis, I started to tear up as soon as I heard my doctor say "premature"; like you I had fallen into the web of google searching my symptoms, I was somewhat expecting it. My doctor immediately listed all the complications that come with POF and the treatment methods, quite frankly she scared the crap out of me. The lack of fertility, that was the hardest to hear. They want me to take MHT, I'm not what I want to do yet. I'm not fully at peace with my diagnosis but I'm glad to finally have a diagnosis, now I know what I am facing. Thank you for sharing your story. -Gabriella
Thank you for sharing your story! I am so sorry you have to go through this. It's true what you said about not being alone. I do not have the same condition as you, but I also have concerns about my fertility. I'm 25 now, but when I was 19 I was diagnosed with cancer. Many of my treatments were extremely aggressive, and one possible effect of those treatments is infertility. I still am not sure whether or not I will be able to have children some day. Like you, being a mom is something I want more than anything!
Wow, I can't imagine what its like to be diagnosed with cancer, and at such a young age. I'm so sorry you had to go through that. I hope your fertility was not effected. I know that would be devastating. I'm hoping for the very best for you.
meepmoopmeep1 wow, you are a miracle. I really hope u can have your own children one day 🙌🏼
You should become an actress/ model as soon as you can! All the best
So hard... I was recently diagnosed with premature menopause. While I'm older than you are, it was still devastated. Prayers for your strength and grace through this process. So brave of you to share. I've only told my sister.
Hugs💗
zoeeve17 lots of love Zoe, don’t go through it alone. Through my infertility journey I have joined so many Facebook pages and messaged so many people in the same situation as me and it really brings hope and comfort. Lots of ❤️
I was diagnosed with Premature Ovarian Failure at age 25. I'm 33 now. Unfortunately, it was too late for me to have children naturally, as all of my eggs were already gone. I know exactly what you are going through and I am so sorry. The first year was devastating for me, but as time passed, it got easier to accept. Hormone Replacement Therapy has helped tremendously with the night sweats, hot flashes, depression, foggy brain, lack of concentration, and fatigue. I felt like I lost myself for awhile until I finally found the right dosage of estrogen and progesterone. I'm doing so much better now! As for you, stay strong, girl! You are a beautiful person inside and out. Sending warm thoughts and prayers your way! ❤
My heart goes out to you. I'm 26, too, and all I want to be is a stay at home mom (when my husband and I are ready to enter that time in our lives). I hope you're able to become a mom in all of the ways you want to.
Oh Lillian, I am so so sorry. Thank you for sharing, I know your videos help so many of us❤️
I hope our comments help you back. Sending the best wishes your way💜
Praying you have plenty of eggs to retrieve ❤️❤️
My fertility journey was much different to where I kept getting pregnant but I kept miscarrying. We would see the heartbeat and then the next time, the heartbeat had stopped. We have 5 angle babies now BUT through lots of testing, too many hormones, many nights of hot flashes (due to the extra hormone suppositories, etc, we do have two rainbow babies. Life is so unfair sometimes and we might go through fertility struggles, BUT don't give up hope, because there still could be a chance to have a biological child of your own. I'm so glad you know this now and not 5 years from now when you guys started "trying."
Ps I would love to adopt one day as well!
I am so sorry to hear this! My sis Ian's I all have similar reproductive problems. My oldest sister wanted desperately to have a child but she went through early menopause. They decided to go the embryo adoption route and had the full experience of being pregnant and having birth. My nephew is is beautiful, smart and hilarious and the light of our lives. Sending love and hugs!
We are going through the same diagnosis. I’m inspired you are bringing awareness to us ladies. Has your period return?
I was diagnosed at 16, now 19 and it’s still hard to deal with
You are amazing.
I'm so sorry Lillian I am praying for you you deserve to have a child I don't know what I would do if I wasn't able to have children on my own I want that more than anything as well so I will be praying for you❤️
Thank you so much
Wishing you all the best. Please, don't give up hope! :-) Sending prayers...
I was crying watching this! My heart breaks for you! Not only its infertility, you also have to deal with hot flashes and crazy hormones that you shouldn't have to deal with for awhile. I have PCOS. Where I get cysts on my ovaries from eggs and they rupture. It may be very hard for me to have children in the future. Luckily, going Vegan has actually reversed it for me.I wish nothing but the best for you and Solomon. Lots of love ❤️
S R it's actually been my birth control as far as treating the pcos lol. It's amazing how it just got rid of the cysts and regulated everything without medicine or brthcontrol.
S R don't give up! I know many women who have PCOS and have beautiful healthy babies now 😊
Wow that is amazing information, how do you know it has fixed it? More frequent periods no pain etc? So happy for you
Stacey McCaa IT was the same with me. My doctor simply didn't find any abnormalities anymore when she checked me about a year after starting a vegan diet. However, when asking her if my diet could have affected my healing, she responded totally negative, claiming veganism was unhealthy. I will never talk about veganism to her again, but I have a five months old son now and that is what really counts.
I was 14 years old when I was diagnosed with POF... i was a child worried about not being able to have babies of my own and that broke my heart. I was going through such a horrible time, crying my eyes out everyday. I’ve been on medication to help get my period and haven’t had a “normal” period without my medication for a few years. It’s hard and frustrating and sometimes people just don’t get it. I Spent a lot of time pretending I was fine when I was 14 going through serious mood swings, hot flashes along with just being a teenager. I’m 18 now it’s still hard just a little less than it used to be. Praying for you and hoping for the best xo
I was diagnosed with POF shortly after being officially diagnosed with Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis. My Endo at the time referred me to a therapist since my mood was all over the place. I was then falsely diagnosed with thyroid cancer. I sought out a new Endo at Cedars Sianai in LA who retested and found I didn’t have cancer. I also have all of the symptoms of pernicious anemia (another autoimmune disease) and am treated for it although testing suggests I don’t have it.
I understand all of the feelings you are enduring and wish all the best.
How were you falsly diagnosed with thyroid cancer ?Did the doctor see the ultrasound wrong
Praying for you and Solomon to have several of your own lovely children, in-spite of this.
Me too!🙏
Thank you for uploading this I was recently diagnosed with premature ovarian failure (at 22) and it's something I'm really finding hard to wrap my head around. I was diagnosed with PCOS when I was 14 and knew I'd have fertility issues but my periods completely stopped at 17. I was told to lose weight and get active to try and kick start my periods again I've since lost 4 stone but still no periods.
It's something that was on my mind constantly but due to health anxiety I've been too sacred to go back to the doctors. However I built the courage and went. They did the tests and 2 weeks ago it was confirmed my ovaries have failed. And I'm still in a bit of daze.
I hope you don't mind me telling my story here too. I'm just grateful you are too and I think it's good for people to share when it comes to something that can make you feel so alone.
I hope you're holding up and stay strong I know how you're feeling xxx
Jessie, thank you for your comment and for sharing your story too. I'm so glad you did. It is something I want to encourage, because it helps others if we can all be open and honest about what we're going through. So really, thank you so much. I'm so sorry to hear about your health issues and the state of your ovaries. I know it is hard and feels SO unfair. My heart aches for you. Thank you again, and I hope you stay strong too!
Thank you to both of you ❤️
Jessie F omg honey!!! I’m so sorry ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I know exactly what you're going through. I had no idea anyone was going through the same until I researched online. I wish things are becoming better for you. It is so difficult but we have to stay strong. 😘❤️
Thank you for sharing I was going through menopause from age 17 but was only diagnosed at 21. It was tough having to come to terms with the fact that I can’t have my own biological children
I appreciate your story, I have just been diagnosed as early menopause, low fertility and I am 26 - trying to source what the main causes are since it seems a little uncommon (?) IVF is on the cards, i hope you are well xx
Thank you for sharing this. Looks like we’re going through a lot of the same stuff. I made a video on this too and I’m glad I’m not the only ome
*one
continuous prayers for you always xo
stay strong ill pray for you
Dear Lillian, thank you for being so brave and open about yourself. My story won't help you, but I know how it feels when they tell you something like that. I am 27 and just two years ago I got to know that I have 47 XXY chromosomes. I am a healthy, feminine looking women, I study music, I have no difficulties with sport or learning. But suddenly they told me this, which was devastating and it still is, but as a bonus, I am already in menopause, and I have no eggs at all. Basically I don't know how my body works, when I gain weight or when I get horrible acne, and then how to deal with it... And self confidence is something I never had so now it is even worse..Of course they told me, I can have an egg donor and I can give a birth because I have a healthy uterus, but they have no idea what can Y chromosome cause, what hormones do I need, if my ovaries should be removed because of risk of cancer. NOBODY KNOWS ANYTHING for two years now, I never felt more lonely and lost. I should be ready to settle down and have family, at the moment I am just struggling with depressions and nobody really gets me, because everybody is always sayin that I just feel sorry for myself and I can have a child from another egg- but that would be all nice if I didn't have XXY. So it is very tiring to explain it all over again and then feel so lonely..I know it is different story than yours, I know, but it feels kind of good or relieving that finally someone else admits that it hurts and it takes time. I can't believe I am on the same spot stuck for two years now. That is why I find your videos very inspirational and brave, thank you for doing this. I wish you all the best, stay strong. Love.
Hi.. I am also 26 years old and I was diagnosed with POF at the age of 22. I can 100% relate to you ❤️🙏
I think you have a really great doctor! I know from forums and myself, that here in europe, people search for their (imune) diseases for years, because they don't make the right tests. They get told they are healthy or its psychological/psychosomatic (but without to sending you to a psychologist). You were going to the doctor, at least getting a diagnosis and a plan to handle it (kind of). I don't want to say you have it easy (which is by far not the case), but I am surprised, how ahead of the game your doctor is.
I started facing mental issues like sleeplessness, anxiety and mild depression...we thought it as a product of overthinking...It was when we approach my gynecologist as we were planning a baby...I came to know about my condition...I am 33 and diagnosed with this premature menopause...the only alternative left with me is IVF and that too I have to get eggs from someone else....also this things comes with the possibility of ovarian cancer, it is so hard to deal...I can understand what you are going through
Omg!! I so sorry that really sucks. Now that u said that i can remember when in my early teens i used to litterly skip a period every month. I thought that it was odd and i was a virgin until the age of 18 when i lost it.
I can't imagine what it must be like to go through this. You have every right to take the time you need to grieve whatever you feel you need to. Never feel guilty for wanting a fully human experience. People will try to say what they think are comforting things like "oh think of how lucky you'll be to never get a period again" or "there are many ways to be a mom", and they mean well, but it ends up feeling hollow. So never feel guilty for wanting and missing and mourning your fully human experience.
Please be careful to say that to have kids is the "fully human" experience. I understand what you mean and I don't mean to be a nitpick, but people who choose NOT to have children and are still fully human, have the fully human experience, and lead fulfilling, loving, creative lives. People who do not have children (by choice or not) are not lesser. I know this is not your intent in the comment to criticize those without children, but language reflects ways of thinking and it can be alienating for those folks without kids. (And I have kids myself.)
+karin's gang I never said "having kids is the fully human experience" or any of the things you mentioned. I was talking specifically about things Lillian mentioned that seemed significant to her like regular periods and pregnancy and her emotional journey. But it's interesting to note that I am somehow responsible for possibly offending someone who read something I didn't even say or make reference to in my comments to another person's specific situation.
You're gonna have your children,I strongly believe. My relative was diagnosed with the same desease and had the same problem but now she has three children all healthy
sending you a big virtual hug :*
How did you diagnose your Hashimotos? What lab levels showed this?
Sending good vibes your way!
This is happening to me right now .. and all I could want is to cease to exist at this point !
You are beautiful. If you ceased to exist, then no one would be able to see your beauty. Everyone is born different.
I am got a premature menopause at 42 following IVF. That was due to very low egg reserves. However, in the last few weeks I have been really down on myself and my mood swings are crazy, flushes and night sweats have gotten more regular and sleeping very badly. And because I have my beautiful son now I wasn’t too upset or surprised when my doctor confirmed it. However, all the time as I can remember myself I wished to have a big family. So my husband suggested to me to use the surrogate mother. Even though I was surprised I decided to agree. I mean that I wish one more child so bad! After long researches we stopped at the Ukrainian clinic Biotexcom. We chose there an affordable program that cost like 30K Euro. This clinic impressed us by the highly qualified staff and modern technique. But I must say the bureaucratic runaround isn’t easy there. But I must note that Ukrainian lawyers helped us much! So just don’t be afraid and believe that everything is possible.
Never make excuses for poor doctors. They can and should be taking the time. They are in the business of human lives. No excuses !
God bless!!
Btw, you look gorgeous!
I was diagnosed with PCOS when I was 21. It happened to be when I had just gone off birth control, and that was the reason why all my hormones were SO insane. So my doctors were analyzing my body when it was in a state of real change and adjustment; I thought it was much worse than it actually was. It took a few months, but my hormones did level out - I still had the syndrome, but my body adjusted and I got my periods back. I have a bit of an idea of what you're going through. Our bodies are constantly seeking balance and when they're out of whack for whatever reason (it can be the smallest thing, including stress which you've been going through and this is making you MORE stressed), it can take some time to get balance back. Your body knows what it needs to do and what you're doing will give it a boost to get it there faster. Please try not to worry yourself sick about this; take it one step at a time (your body has been going through a lot with Addison's and medications you've been taking). Your hormones will change BACK OUT of post-menopause. You will have your babies and it will be beautiful. You'll be an amazing mom!!!
Just a thought that writing "Addison's induced menopause" in your descriptions or titles might bring you more specific experiences and insights.
My story’s crazy too I’m now 35 mom of 6 kids one set of twins in there. About 3 years ago at 32 I stopped having periods randomly, having trouble sleeping and hot flashes. I didn’t know what was wrong with me. Went and saw my OB and she did testing came back I went into menopause my FSH came back crazy high 110. Me randomly after being fertile as heck. So I was referred to endocrinologist and she did more testing my FSH (folical stimulating hormone) came back even higher 124. My thyroid wasn’t functioning well either and I had to start thyroid meds. She put me on hormone replacement because my ovaries are dead and not making estrogen. Being in menopause 20 years to early is not good for bone heath etc. I’m now 35, a mom of 6 kids, Nurse I work out and try to eat healthy always have. Endocrinologist thinks it was some kind of autoimmune process. I have no family history of this. I’m just glad I had my kids young or there would be no kids. I’m going to try some of the vitamins you suggested here. Hope it helps. I feel alone in this because I haven’t met anyone who just randomly went into menopause at 32. No hysterectomy nothing. Dealing with all this, working full time, being exhausted has been hard. Crazy thing is I don’t have Addison’s disease and my thyroid now is failing 3 years after going into menopause
I've just stumbled upon your channel is your autoimmune disease called hasimotos ? My mother and me have it I'm turning 46 this month I also for 2 years didn't have a period approx 3 years ago now since then I've been regular 3 years straight now there's also a hasimotos Facebook group which is fantastic
