POF

At age of 11 I experienced my first period, by the time I was 14 I started to have irregular cycles so I went to a gyn and she put me on BP pills to 'regulate' my cycle. I stayed off and on pills until I was 20. So in actuality I had not had a 'natural' period for those past 6yrs. I tried the patch for a brief period but was mostly on pills. I eventually stopped and hoped that it would would become regular. It was at the age of 22 I found out I had premature ovarian failure. A condition where my ovaries have 'shut down' and I don't produce even follicules to even have eggs to even ovulate. It was a devastating and hard pill to swallow. I have enough hormones to see light periods but I can't ovulate. I have really only 2 options to have a child: adopt or egg donation. And there is only a 5% chance my body can 'kick back' into 'gear' and ovulate again. Sometimes I think that maybe being on pills for so long at a young age had an affect on me. for Godsake I wasn't even sexually active until i was 17!!!
