This failure is probably a result of the blood supply to the ovaries dropping down. The pattern is often inherited. (Mother early menopause -- daughter same) Remember 'Menopause' begins with the last day of the last natural menses. (Not all uterine bleeding is 'menses') A high FSH would indicate to me that you need Estrogen replacement accompanied by a Progestin compound. (Either daily or cyclically.) Some doctors find that the BCP are excellent to replace the hormones. Women can take them for many years. My roommate has taken PREMARIN (NON GENERIC) + PROVERA 5 mgm DAILY for 17 years. Looks good; feels good; no sweats; very few wrinkles; laughs a lot) Welcome to menopause. *Note: Opinions expressed here are for educational purposes only.
