Answer 1

it's menopause..and no

Answer 2

You are far, far too young for that.

Answer 3

Metapause comes before Anapause right?  Your white cells are dividing at an alarming rate and making more.  

Answer 4

Sounds like your body is reacting to the change in hormones.  I found relief with herbs for adrenal support and acupuncture.  Your kidneys and adrenal glands can be severely affected by a drop in hormone levels.  I went thru "shock menopause" after a hysterectomy even though I still had my ovaries.  My ovaries had shut down and gone into "shock"....I found the herbs VERY helpful...takes about 3 weeks to kick in real good, but I got my ovaries working again.  The acupuncture might give you more immediate results....PS  I hate needles, but acupuncture is totally different and NOT painful.  

Answer 5

don't listen to anyone who tells you that you are too young to have menopause. you can and it is a problem. it is called peri-menopause or a symptom of PCOS. it is caused by a hormonal deficiency and it is something to be looked into. if you are nervous because you think you may have symptoms then get it looked into. i had the same doubts and i found out that i have PCOS and now i can't have children without a lot of help and medication. go to your doctor and get your hormone levels tested (ex. FSH, estradiol, estrogen, and testosterone).

EDIT: i think it does have something to do with the depo shot also. i was getting the shot for about a year and when i came off of it, i didn't get a period for a year and a half. please talk to your doctor. as soon as you can. once you develop PCOS it isn't something that goes away. it can only be monitored. get this book "It's My Ovaries, Stupid" by Elizabeth Lee Vliet, M.D. it really helped me. hopefully it will help you.

Answer 6

No.  You are FAR too young to go through menopause.

The only chance of that is if you're going through post-surgical menopause, but that would be because you had a hysterectomy and would know.
