I haven't seen a doctor about this but I had blood work done in August
as they were suspecting a thyroid disorder, but they said the blood was
normal. I never had a pelvic test though because I'm afraid of it.

>I am 24 years old and I have had my period since I was 12.5 years. It has never been completely regular but I've been keeping track of it since 1999 and the cycle days range from 29 days to 49 days. Last month it took 49 days. I am extremely worried that I am going through an early menopause although no-one in my family had that. I don't want to go on the pill to regulate my periods because I want to get pregnant, although we haven't started trying yet as we're waiting for marriage first. I am worried that I will find it hard to get pregnant with this kind of cycle and that if it's the menopause, it's already too late. We had planned to have 4 children and it is my only life plan. If I can't have children I rather die. Do you think this is the menopause .. I need an honest answer. And do depression medication affect this?
