Premature Ovarian Insufficiency (POI) Being Told I'm Going Through Menopause at 24 | My Experience

Hi lovelies,
In today's video I share with you my experience of Premature Ovarian Insufficiency or Primary Ovarian Failure (POI). Basically, I was told by my doctor that I was going through menopause at 24 years old.
When i found out that I might have this condition, I was looking high and low for resources online and people similar to me, sharing their stories on KZbin, but I found that the resources were very limited. That is why I wanted to make this video to share my personal experience and to hopefully help other women in situations similar to mine!
I pride myself on being open and honest with everyone and here on my channel and I hope you enjoy this story time video!
If you have any questions or wan't to chat, feel free to message me on my instagram or comment down below.

Yes this is helpful finding a community of women suffering from POI

I was diagnosed some years back as well, i’v been feeling lonely and discouraged. It’s been really tough on my mental health. Thank you for being strong and sharing🥺

[@brittanykatrina]

Thanks lovely 🤍🤍

[@destinymarie.510]

I was diagnosed too a couple years back as well. It definitely is hard in our mental health. And it makes me feel a little better knowing other women are also dealing with this.

[@brittanykatrina]

@@destinymarie.510 You’re definitely not alone in that! Us women need to support each other 🤍🤍

[@evaaguilar3142]

I was also diagnosed with this at 25.My brain frog and depression is where it hits me the most. Finding the right medication is hard but I’m very hopeful! Sending all of you positive vibes. Thank you for sharing..good to know I’m not alone.

[@courtenaymichel6176]

Yes I'm 39 and coming to terms with it. I feel physically and mentally teriible. I feel broken

[@sandranorum6125]

Thank you for speaking about this! The first time I learned about the existence of this is when Swedish blogger Kenza Zouiten Subosic wrote about being diagnosed at age 26 (I believe). She has a youtube channel as well and she discusses it in the video where she discusses the pregnancy with her first child. If anyone’s interested I believe both her blog & videos have English translations/subtitles. I love it when people with any type of platform discuss these things. I’m so glad you got pregnant! So happy for you! 🙏🏻💕

[@brittanykatrina]

Thanks so much lovely! ♥️♥️

[@jennifermelendez9931]

I also got diagnosed last year.. I was 34z i have been checking my fertility constantly and they always missed this diagnosis.. it’s so discouraging to be so proactive in making sure you are fertile and they always tell you how healthy you are. I managed to get pregnant with IVF but I wish I knew about this condition earlier cos most likely I’ll get menopause right after my first baby

[@shahdzaaman]

Did you get pregnant with your own ova?

[@Itsbabysis]

Just like you I’ve been searching for woman who are also experiencing this. I’ve been diagnosed for 5 years and have been soo discouraged and felt soo alone, soo thanks for sharing.

[@brittanykatrina]

Definitely not alone lovely! 🥰

[@Fihggvhj4676]

Thank you! I’m 34 and just know finding out that this has been my problem all these years. The doctors just kept trying to give me birth control and send me on my way.

[@mathieuleader8601]

wow the human body does so many crazy things

[@joyfun3105]

Hi how r u ? Thank for sharing this ? You used hormones before you got pregnant? I mean estrogen and progesterone??? Or any other hormonal replacement??

[@kimberlyethridge6492]

I was diagnosed with this in my mid 20s.

[@shelbysharpe2997]

I was diagnosed last year and I'm on estradiol 2 full dose patches but still isn't helping... do you know any resources for treatments

[@afshak2695]

U can go ahead with stem cell therapy for ovaries

[@beanerb822]

It's okay if you don't feel comfortable sharing but did you happen to get the HPV vaccine? If you don't know you could ask your parents, It would've been around 11-16ish. Many people who get this vaccine have POI. Including me

[@beanerb822]

Thank you for sharing your experience. I would recommend Dr. Berg here on KZbin because he has so much information on curing our disease! Restoring hormones and balancing health/diet. I chose not to take medicine. There is a plasma injection that you can receive that gets injected into your ovaries!! It's supposed to cure it!! So you should look into this!!

[@beanerb822]

I'd love to talk to you more!

[@aanchalsharma2888]

Hi i also have this issue at age 21 is there any way i can have some information from you

[@aanchalsharma2888]

I would really appreciate it..

[@beanerb822]

@@aanchalsharma2888 not to sound arrogant, but I have done HOURS of research ☺️🙏 I would love to help you because I feel like I know A LOT! LOL. And I have advice to share! I haven't taken and blood tests lately but I'm sure that if I did, my hormones would be looking better. I like to believe that I'm cured but I still have days where I'm down and also I still don't have a period. But it's nothing like when I was first diagnosed at 21. I'm 23 now

[@Foxie770]

Did you get the Gardasil vaccine? If so, that’s the likeliest culprit for causing POF.

[@Fihggvhj4676]

I got that vaccine when I was 12 in 2002 and I suffer from this.

[@tracym5576]

Wr your periods regular? Wr u put on hrt?

[@brittanykatrina]

My periods were regular! Yes i forgot to mention i was put on HRT, a low dose of testosterone. I didn’t find it effective to treat my symptoms though.

[@brittanykatrina]

@@tracym5576 Thats great that it’s helped you!

[@naaayeley91]

How long were you on the HRT before your periods restarted and how long did you go without?

[@yensounta6501]

I know it's been a while but I hope you see this! @@tracym5576 I miss my periods and hoping HRT will get mine back too. Do you mind sharing your HRT regimen? thank you so much
