That's it -- no babies for me
I can't fucking stand it -- I'm going through menopause. Blood tests came back normal for everything but FSH, which is at *60* (normal high is around 30 at midcycle, apparently)! What the fuck did I do to deserve all of this?!!!!!!!!! I can't even begin to process all of this. I just can't believe that I'll never have a living baby. There are no words to describe how devastated I am. Stunned, kicked in the gut, yet again. Except this time there's no hope of a happy ending...

It just doesn't seem fair. You've been through more than your share of pain and heartache, why can't it just end? Is there no justice in the universe? I just don't get it.
I wish I had the words, but I know there probably are none. I'd give you a big hug if I could.

You've been through so much. I'm so sorry. What did he say? Is it really the end of the road?
He wants me to get another blood test to confirm the results, but it's pretty conclusive. The lack of a period coupled with hot flashes and this high reading... it really can't be much else.
Wait - can you get a second opinion? Can stress affect this? If stress can stop periods, it should be able to screw up other stuff too, right?
I hope this is all a mistake.

Oh i am so so sorry...it is competely unjust. I second lorem's advice of a second opinion, though. I am hoping it is all a mistake as well...
OMG I'm so sorry! I would vote for a second opinion as well, just to be completely sure. Holy hell, Ann, I can't believe it. What else could possibly happen next? Big hugs and warm thoughts for you. If you want to rant, I'm here.
I can't even really find words to express how sorry I am. This news, on top of everything else you've had dealt to you lately, must be so hard to even really accept. I hope some additional tests and possibly second opinions are something you can continue to pursue.
Many hugs...

i am so sorry. you deserve a better result than this one. i hope there's still a better one out there for you.
I'm sorry...I don't remember...how long have you been without a period? Because this just doesn't sound right to me.

Oh fuck. This is unbelievable. I am so sorry Ann. I will grasp onto the hope that the next blood test will NOT confirm this result. Wow, I am so shocked and just so very sorry. Big (((hugs)))
What a terrible blow. I'm at a loss for words. I'm so sorry this has happened on top of everything else.
I am so sorry to hear this. You have been through too much. Not fair. Very very very not fair. I do hope that he is wrong.
Oh God. I am so, so sorry. My heart is just aching right now. I agree with Lorem--it seems like you have definately been dealing with a huge amount of stress. I second (or third) her advice for another opinion.
I'm so sorry! I don't have any idea what to say.
Oh my God...I can't - I don't even know what to say. This is cruelty at it's most potent and I'm sick for you.
I hope a second opinion gives you a very, very different answer.
((((((((((HUGS)))))))) I'm just so very, very sorry...
