Menopause at 33

I was just diagnosed with Hashimoto’s in August 2017. Started taking levothyroxine and was told by my endocrinologist that I should get my period back. Went to see a fertility specialist in January 2018 and was told I have gone through menopause and can no longer conceive. So which should I believe? Any hope for me?

You need to do plethora of tests and in particular egg reserve to know for 100% you went through menopause.

Though hashimoto often induces early menopause it doesn't mean you already went through one.

Them saying one thing without doing thorough test doesn't mean a thing.

Well the fertility doctor I went to did blood work and said my ovarian function was at zero so I guess that means I did go through it.

So yes in this case natural conception is out of the question, sorry 😟

Adoptlove10,

Hypothyroidism can cause temporary infertility but once thyroid levels are normal menstrual cycle usually returns to normal.

You could ask for a second opinion on whether the tests you have had confirm early menopause.

Not what you're looking for?
