Dear nycartist:

I am so sorry, nycartist. I just read a bit from Wikipedia’s entry on Premature Ovarian Failure POF).

It reads there that it can happen to a girl as young as 11, and that the cut off age to be diagnosed with it is 40.

I wonder if this means that you, being 37, let’s say the failure has been happening since you were 35 or 36. I wonder if the risks involved in the failure are way less than if you were 15 or 25 0r 30. Maybe the increase of chances of health problems is way less for women closer to 40???
