early menopause?

[jzgrace]

I just gave birth to my beautiful little bubby just over 5 months ago. I am now 11days late for af. Nausea,dizziness,fatigue,headaches,cramping,hot flashes hallacious appetite ,irritability,night sweats,frequent urination,increased discharge(sorry for Tmi). Two bfn results with$ store cheapies. I was wondering if anyone knows if i could go into early menopause soon after child birth?? Anyone know someone this happened to? My ob said if i haven't got af in a week they will do bloods. My sister inlaw had twins at 38and she said that every $ store cheapie she used was negative so she got ept and got a bfp. I'm worried it could be early menopause.

Did your dr think it might be early menopause? It seems like it would be weird to have so many crazy symptoms all at once. From what I understand, the onset of menopause is pretty gradual. They definitely sound like pg symptoms, but I suppose it could be hormones still sorting themselves out after birth since it was less than 6 months ago. I would definitely buy some frers and/or other good tests and test again. GL! Update if you find a cause, esp if it's a bfp!

I agree your symptoms sound more like pregnancy then menopause, Usually menopause symptoms start before the end of AF and also include vaginal dryness, memory loss, loss of libido, insomnia,anxiety or sadness, weight gain. periods generally dont just go from normal to non existent but usually cycles will become shorter and shorter with a very light flow before the onset of menopause . its possible your AF is just late or maybe you ovulated late?. I have learned recently that nausea before AF is normal the older we get because its happened to me 3 cycles now.
