I'm 22 years old, and I actually just started getting my period but very irregularly. I've known something was up for a long time, but was too afraid to find out what it was. Well, I finally cracked when I was 18 and went to the lady doctor about this problem. They informed me that they could only see one ovary. (The other one is there, but very tiny.) They also informed that I have POF (premature ovarian failure). It's like hitting menopause at a very young age. I was heartbroken..... because I knew what that meant. No kids ever, and even though I never knew if I wanted them or not... every woman wants the option of course. They informed me to go on birth control and I did, but I stopped because I stopped caring about myself after that. I got extremely depressed, and said the hell with it. Fast forward 4 years and I'm still upset about it, but I know many, many women who got told by doctors they would never have babies of their own. Well I'm here to tell each and everyone of you ladies that you all have a chance. I hate use the word "miracles", but let's be realistic... we all need a little miracle or blessing to happen.. just be patient and treat your bodies right. I never thought I'd have a period, but now I do... even though it might not mean anything it gives me a chance of hope in a way. Also, I did think I was the only one too who had been dealing with it because it is so rare... and then I come across this website and read your stories.. it really hit a spot in me and I thank all of you for sharing. We're in this together and just stay strong!!!
