Hi all I am 26 and in December I had to have my last ovary removed. I am not currently able to take estrogen patch because it’s too risky I shouldn’t ever have one, but maybe down the line we can think of a micro dose. I already have osteopenia and I am freaked out by that but I am having an awful time with fatigue and not being able to sleep i’m on a schedule that keeps me from normal activities and I am dragging feet all day too. My iron is low but not horrible low. My oncologist told me my lack of hormones shouldn’t be making me this tired. I just I feel a little alone in all this right now. I don’t know what’s doing this I was doing much better before my last ovary was taken. Also… any other people have their hormones taken young and given any sort of medication for their bones? I keep asking about raloxifene but I keep getting pushed out… I don’t want to wait until my bones are swiss cheese in my early 30s to do something, what did you’re doctors do if you experienced this too?

I got my blood results in they say my iron is at 46 and my iron saturation is 12 my hemoglobin is 13 (so I think that rules out anemia but definitely an iron deficiency) I didn’t have my ferritin done again but when it was last checked in february it was 20 and I haven’t been taking any supplements so I don’t know if it would have improved or not. I am just constantly tired and I am struggling really bad with day to day basic functioning. I thought it was being in surgical menopause at 26 but my doctor said since it’s been since december I had my surgery that shouldn’t be what’s causing it so when I got these blood results back I was hoping this could explain it so I can start to feel better soon.

I see an endocrinologist tomorrow my dexa scan was a little rough my z score on my back was -2.4 I think the rest of my bones looked decent. I am 26 but i’ve been in surgical menopause without hrt for about 6 months now. I have been diligently strength training since my dexa and taking all my vitamins but I am worried that even if my oncologist clears low dose estrogen it may not be enough for my bones. I was wondering what all questions I should consider asking the endocrinologist it seems like bone medications at my age don’t happen often but I want to prevent this disease not wait til it happens if that’s even possible for me

Hi all i’m 26 I had a borderline tumor that was late stage with high risk features and it’s almost always hormone sensitive. I have been in surgical menopause since December and I have had every symptom under the sun. I think the insomnia is the most soul crushing. It is 8am and Is till have not slept. My doctor has me take trazodone I took two hours ago and it didn’t help tonight. I feel like I only have real expendable energy for strength training three days a week to maintain my bones since they’re completely unprotected and my dexa scan shows I have low bone density for my age (I was assured it doesn’t mean I have osteopenia). I feel a lot of judgement from others whether they intend to judge or not for how badly I am struggling with fatigue. I think actually sometimes people think i’m making it up. My hair dresser the other day told me that i’m not in real menopause. I don’t know… anybody else feel impacted hard by the insomnia and fatigue or is it really just me? Theres a couple of women I know who have had surgical menopause albeit they were older than me but still weren’t at an appropriate age for it and they didn’t have these issues
