Premature Ovarian Failure -POI
**I’m writing this because reading through your posts over the last few days has honestly brought me so much peace. For a long time, I felt entirely isolated, but seeing your stories made me realize I’m not alone in what I've been going through.**
**A bit of my background: In 2024, I was diagnosed with a prolactinoma, and my hormones were completely out of whack. Fast forward to now—I just turned 36 a couple of days ago, and my doctor now strongly suspects Primary Ovarian Insufficiency (POI) based on my latest labs showing low AMH and high FSH.**
**Looking back, these symptoms really started hitting me when I was 33. Like so many of you, my concerns were completely dismissed by doctors who blamed it all on "just anxiety" because of my age. It is so incredibly frustrating to know something is off with your body but have it brushed aside.**
**Now that I finally have a doctor who is looking at the actual data, I’m trying to prepare myself for what’s next.**
**Is anyone else here dealing with POI specifically? For those of you who started Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), what has your experience been like? Did it help clear up the brain fog, fatigue, or other symptoms?**
**Thank you all for creating such a supportive space. It means more than you know just to read your stories.**
