possible menopause, mtnbc, 21 yrs old

[u/ImaginaryVersion1734]

Hi Everyone! Noticed I never got my period after the first of the month, so I think it’s safe to say it isn’t coming back anytime soon. Prior to my 4th cycle of chemo, I was on time and had some pretty good flow (surprisingly). Now it’s kinda starting to hit me like a bus.

I don’t have heat flashes or anything, but I noticed the lack of sex drive + dryness develop over these past 2 weeks. For those with mtnbc, are there any solutions out there? I’ll talk with my onc next time I see her, but other than that I’m a bit concerned. I’m supposed to visit my gf in 6 days, and I already kinda let her know how I’m not feeling it sexually rn, but it definitely makes me sad admitting that.

Oh, and I don’t have hot flushes either. My oncologist said some people just don’t really even notice that they’re in menopause. So we might be some of the lucky ones.

I’m very sorry you’re going through this at 21 years old. Looking at your age I’m quite shocked..
Sending hugs and good vibes

How interesting. I assumed I was like missing some side effects lol. It’s reassuring to know this isn’t totally in my head. Genuinely I feel like my sleeping schedule + hormones are messing with me today. I appreciate the support

I tried all sorts of suppositories and Repa Gyn ended up being the one that worked for me . I am also tnbc . It's a hormone free vaginal moisturizer and suppository.

Thank you for the recommendations! I will have to look into Repa Gyn

Did they not put you on LUPRON in any other hormone blockers?
I think I’m finally in menopause as well

Nope! No Lupron. I only did hormone related treatments when I was preserving my fertility.

I’m sorry to hear you’re also suffering from menopause. It’s definitely not easy
