Ladies with premature Ovarian Failure

[Guest guest]

Hi, this is Kathy. I'm the mom with a now 22 year old daughter that

has Type I BPES. It's been a while since I posted but I would really

appreciate any insight into the POF you can give. has Type I

BPES that has the associated POF. We had her FSH level tested when she

was 19 and it came back within the normal range. She had trouble with

increased menstral cycles so she was placed on a low dose of birth

control. That level had to be increased 3 months ago and now she has

break through problems. Now she is an emotional wreck. We can't tell

if the pills are making her so emotional or if maybe we should get her

FSH retested. Her OB-Gyn suggests increasing the dosage again. My

question to the ladies who have experienced POF is does it feel like

any one going through menopause (irritability, anxiety, etc). Also,

would the pill (sometimes prescribed to help through menopause) cause

her FSH levels to be out of whack? Hoping to hear from you soon.

Thanks so much

Kathy
