Premature ovarian insufficiency – premature menopause.
Menstrual cycles stopping earlier than they’re meant to…flipping awful…anyone affected needs really good specialist care and support…it can have a profound affect both physically and mentally. When I started writing this post I got so caught up in trying to write as much detail down as possible instead of my usual chatty posts…why…well menopause, as […]

Just what you’ve always wanted…A Menopause Diary!
