Back story

I was 32 when I found out I had POF.

Mine is a case of secondary infertility, as I was blessed to have a two year old son. He was born October 2012. I had been diagnosed as having hypothyroidism before I got pregnant with him so I was on medication throughout his pregnancy and during breastfeeding.

I had previously had my thyroid levels monitored by my general practitioner, but in the spring 2014 I decided to see a specialist. My new endocrinologist confirmed I was hypo and also recognized the autoimmune disorder hashimotos and said I had several nodules. I had fine needle biopsies on the nodules--ouch!--but they were benign. Whew.

Fast forward to Fall 2014. My feminine cycle had always been regular. I did notice a few periods seemed to come quicker than 28 days but didn't think much of it. I wasn't tracking but did have a lovely vacation to Grand Cayman spoiled by an early Aunt Flo. My son turned two in October 2014 and my husband and I started seriously talking about #2. I began tracking my period in November 2014 in hopes of trying to conceive in the next few months. Little did I know that would be my first and last period to track.
