Give it another year or two and go back to see another fertility specialist. It took two full years post-transplant and Gynae-Endocrine specialists at two separate hospitals (finally culminating in my seeing a Professor!) before they could formally diagnose me as early menopause and give me some decent meds. We young BMTers are a rare lot, and early menopause is rare enough on its own so a lot of gynae/endocrine doctors just have no experience with cases like us. I'm really lucky that our embryo freezing was 100% free on the NHS, they rushed us through to do it in time, and that we can wait and see what happens in a few years.

Most importantly, though, is that you need to give yourself a lot more TIME to heal yourself before it's wise to start thinking about another baby and the strain that would put on your body.
