Perhaps not all women know that it is possible to enter very early menopause, even in the twenties. Of course I'm not suggesting that it what has happened with you but, as others have suggested, see your doctor and make sure he tests all your hormones levels.

I have been experiencing the same symptoms except when I had this problem a few years ago my doctor put me on a birth control pill. I stopped taking it this summer and went back to being irregular. It worries me too. Does anyone reccommend a good gyn in Beijing? Not too expensive? I'm only 24! My husband and I want to have a baby in the next year or two.

Have you ruled out polycystic ovaries (cysts on the ovaries). It is very common and accounts for a lot of woman having irregular periods. That is what I have and before I had my children I used to have a period about 4 times a year (from the age of about 20). I have had 2 children in the past 3 years (I am 32 now) and haven't had a period for 3.5 years!!

To luperno... if you DO have polycystic ovaries then you need to be aware that it might take a while to fall pregnant as you don't ovulate as often as normal. It took me about a year and a half to fall pregnant with our first child and I tried various types of homeopathic medicine to try and get my cycles more regular so that we could improve our chances. Not sure what worked in the end but as I said in my previous post, we have since had another child with no problems and no periods inbetween the two!

I agree with Tung Chung, not just about polycysitc ovaries but about the risk of "less than optimum fertility" in general. I don't know where you stand in terms of wanting to have a baby or another baby, but if you are on the fence you may want to move ahead with any pregnancy plans rather than wait. I muddled along, with doctors wanting to me to wait a year before beginning infertility treatment, then had miscarriage, then more waiting, another miscarriage (blamed on insufficient hormones) . . . . and before I knew it, years had passed. I'm not saying that aggressive treatment is for everyone. Just that it's important for YOU to be the judge of what kind of schedule you want to be on and how much intervention (if any) you might want, based on your values and how you would feel if your fertility declined sooner than you wished. And of course, some people are quite happy with no children, adopting, etc., but others would be devastated. So, just don't let months and years go by without making some conscious decisions about what you want your future to look like in terms of having children, and then how to make that happen, if something needs to change. (Ha, ha, and even though the "biological clock" is real, I'd be the world's LAST person to advocate getting hitched up with someone only for this reason!)
