Excerpt

Those people out there, the ones laughing and yelling, were in another world. They were still young and happy. I felt I had been moved years beyond them in one day, and in many ways, I had....I was just returning from a visit with a reproductive endocrinologist; for the third time in two months, I had been told I was in menopause--and this time there was no question about it. I had celebrated my 38th birthday and I felt like I was 58.

First line

Premature menopause is a devastating diagnosis.

Publisher's note

WHY NOW? WHY ME? Today, millions of women in their twenties and thirties, many of whom are just beginning to plan a family, are receiving the shocking news that their reproductive years are already over. They are in premature menopause--menopause years before its time. Whether due to an autoimmune disorder, surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, or the often undiagnosed condition known as Premature Ovarian Failure (POF), premature menopause is common, increasing--and almost always traumatic.If you are one of the women experiencing early menopause, you have hundreds of questions, but have probably found few answers...until now. THE PREMATURE MENOPAUSE BOOK is the first book focusing on this difficult transition--written by a woman who faced the same questions: What can I do about it? Do I need hormones? How can I have a baby despite this condition? How can I feel like "me" again? THE PREMATURE MENOPAUSE BOOK provides the latest information on health and emotional issues, explores all of your options, lists resources, websites and support groups, shares the experiences and advice of women going through this experience, answers frequently asked questions and offers the support and understanding you need.

Petras, who has faced the problem of early menopause, lists hundreds of resources, Web sites, and support groups, and shares the advice of women going through the experience.

Annotation

She also provides information on symptoms all pre-menopausal women should watch out for, hormone replacement therapies, and procedures that may enable a young menopausal woman to have a baby.
