POF?

[stillooking4hope]

30yr female
Here is the deal. I always had a normal menses, every 29-30 days for five days. The month of April my menses was normal started on the 3rd ended on 7th and I ovulated 14 days later. My BBT indicated I ovulated fine (no indication of POF). May came I had a normal menses, started on the 1st of May ended 5th. Well, I didn't think anything was wrong. I did not ovulated, but BBT did not show anything wrong. I just associated with the stress I was going through that month from buying a house, closing on it (May16) moving (May 17), having the biggest fight with hubby (May 17) and May 22 finally having our official wedding. Then June came and no menses. Just assume it was stress. July no menses. That is when I decided to see my GYN. She did some blood work to see what was going on. These labs were not done on cycle. Now my BBT is all over the place. Can I go into POF in just one month?
Estradiol 15.8
FSH        37.8
LH           28.3
Prolactin 21.2

GYN was not liking FSH, so she put me on provera to get menses started. First dose July 26- last dose Aug 4. I started menses on Aug 3. She did bloof work on cycle day 3
TSH 1.270
T4    1.17
FSH 33.3

So after that blood she referred me to a RE. Since I was referred I have not truly go an answer if I am in POF or something else is going on. The RE has not done an US, just some bloodwork CBC, 2Hr glucose, calcium serum 9.2, phosphorus 3.4. She has not ran anymore test or US. She wanted to take more blood when menses started back up, but it never did. She put me on another dose of provera started on Sep15-21, spotted on 24 and 25, but no full blow menses. I feel I am not getting all the treatment that is out there. I know there is more out there to run. I still don't know if I am in POF or something else is going on. I had a miscarriage 2yr ago. Unfortunate, I did know I was pregnant. I was ill at the time and I was on warfarin for a PE. I also have a history of thyroid problems. I had a partial thyroidectomy in 95. I had a few times over the years levels go out of norm, but they manage to go back. I don't have S&S of hot flashes, no night sweats, or other menopause symptoms just no menses all of a sudden. So right now I have no answers  and my RE can't explain why menses stop abruptly and she has not dx me with POF. SO am I in POF. I still have pre menstrual symptoms but no flow. What is going on. Please help. I am looking for a second opinion. Will HRT get my menstrual back on track.

Also, my husband and I were going to start trying in December or January once I finish nursing school. I need to get this problem taken care of.

POF means premature ovarian failure and you definatly have it which means menopause before the "normal" age.  I too was just diagnosed with perimenopause or POF and I am 34.  My GYN blames the thyroid for causing it and my endo agrees that thryoid disease can trigger premature menopause but he disagrees with the diagnosis.  I think you will have a hard time getting a straight answer, just like I am, because they look at your age and say NO WAY!  My advise is to get another opinion from either an endocronologist who specializes in female hormones, like a fertility specialist or a GYN who specializes is just menopause.  That is the route I am taking now.  Good luck!

Hi there fellow Floridian! Not sure if you know that this is a thyroid forum and maybe you posted this by mistake? I know there are a few different types of gyno type communities. I would love to be able to answer your question, but do not have the first clue what POF is? lol sorry. :)   What does it stand for ?
Your thyroid labs looked good, so I can at least comment on that! :)  :)
