Does IVF
Does the stimulation and removal of multiple eggs during IVF treatments onset menopause and depending on whether the answer is yes or no, why? I'm wondering if I need to worry about menopause coming on earlier if I do several IVF's.
I forgot to mention that it is temporary menopause like SD said, not that you are going to have sustained menopause symptoms.
I believe that this is why my doc put me on vivelle patches (estrogen) post transfer. I remember in my drug class the nurse saying that our bodies think we are going thru menopause from all the meds and the sudden stop of the meds.
I agree with spec. The ramping up and abrupt stop of all the meds as well as some of the meds themselves (Lupron) can throw your body into a temporary menopause like state. I have not seen anything to suggest that your body is actually going into menopause or that you will have premature menopause.
I am not aware of IVF causing menopause. The amount of eggs removed in IVF is small compared to amount of eggs you have in reserve assuming your ovarian reserve is normal.
