Hi @Allisonjoanne53
Welcome to the community! Forgive me as I'm not familiar with Tunners Syndrome, would you might explaining what this is? Please let us know if we can do anything for you0 -
Hello Ami2301, Thanks for your welcome! Turners Syndrome is a chromosomal abnormality that happens only in women. In my case, one of my chromosomes has got four long arms instead of two short and two long. This has affected my growth outside and inside my body. And it has also affected my fertility. I couldn’t have children due to the fact that my ovaries didn’t develop normally. I’ve basically gone through a very very early menopause. I mentioned anxiety/ depression, I’m not sure how much of this is linked to Turners.0
