Things You'll Need:
- Counseling For Depression
-
Step 1
Join an online premature menopause support group. Go to a major search engine like Google or Yahoo and type in "premature menopause" and "support." Chat with other young women who are experiencing an early onset menopause.
-
Step 2
Talk openly and intimately with your significant other. It's not unusual to question your desirability, since a woman's sexuality is tied so closely to her ability to bear children.
-
Step 3
Consider hormone replacement therapy. Doctors generally urge POF patients to use HRT because they'll have so many postmenopausal years ahead of them. Lifelong use of HRT is appropriate.
-
Step 4
Seek counseling through university hospital menopause clinics or a mental health professional. POF patients often suffer negative emotions, especially if they had hoped to have children and now can't.
-
Step 5
Explore the possibility of in vitro fertilization with hormonal support if you feel an overwhelming desire to have a baby. Visit a fertility clinic/specialist and find out more about high-tech pregnancies.
-
Step 6
Understand that your beauty, lovableness and vibrance are not at all related to your ovarian function.
-
Step 7
Follow a regular exercise program. Thirty minutes of brisk walking every day causes the body to release a natural morphine-like chemical called endorphins, which give you a sense of well-being.
