menopause at 30??? Is it likely?

I never really pay too much attention to my periods since I had a tubal. All I know is I go ever 29 days and I have never bled at night. I have noticed the past 2 periods I have only bled 1 day. I find that odd. I am having some serious vaginal dryness that is so bad I feel it during normal daytime activities,not sex. I am sure I am having other menopause symptoms I just havent payed too much attention. I just wonder if it is possible that I may be trying to go through menopause on my own.

Well, I am 36 and I have been suffering from horrible night sweats and hot flashes for about 4 years now . In my case, both my mother and my aunt started menapause in their 30's.

I hope this makes you feel somewhat better!

My mother started in her early 30's. I was told once by a dr that he thought I was showing signs of it in my 30's. But I feel like I am so screwed up that nobody knows.

Hi,

My grandmother started menopause at 30 and was all done with it by 40. She had terrible migraines and massive bleeding. I think I inherited my problems from her!

I have heard that a tubal ligation can fastforward you into early menopause. I don't know if that's true. I had one myself at 37, but I already had a history of fibroids and other stuff.

I believe that I was going into menopause in my late 20's. I was having hot flashes and terrible night sweats. Now that I have had my hysteretomy, they aren't as bad.
