43 Yr Old. Is It Possible To Be Undergoing Early Menopause While Nursing A 10 Month Old Baby?
Is it possible that I could be going through early menopause and still be nursing? I am 43 yrs old and have a 10 month old. I thought I was going through symptoms before I became pregnant. All the women in my family went through early menopause, finished in their early 40s. My symptoms are strange sensation in my muscles that seem to get worse before my periods (just now having my third since the baby). I am just curious as to whether or not it is even possible while nursing.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
No,it is not possible for you to be nursing and experiencing menopause at the same time, especially if your periods are still normal.
If you wish to confirm this, you can consider asking your doctor for blood tests for hormone levels.
The symptoms that you are experiencing just before your periods are premenstrual symptoms.
These are symptoms , women experiencing prior to periods. They can be emotional or physical symptoms.
I hope this helps
