Great for HRT analysis - By: Ms. Samantha Tully, 07 Oct 2008 
I found this book simple to read & full of useful information - especially the chapter about all the different types of HRT & their ingredients & why it is important not just to stick to one type, one dose. So many women get stuck on one that does not suit them. It helped me weigh up the pros & cons of HRT & why it is important to consider it as a treatmentin particular for early menopause.
I have a child & was fine about not being able to have any more at 36 so the emotional stuff this book covers about that aspect of POF was not relevant to me. It is a practical & empathetic book that covers a wide range of useful information whatever implications POF may have for you.
A "Must HAVE" book for woman of all ages. - By: , 22 Aug 1999 
Kudos to Kathryn Petras for writing a book on a subject that is long overdue. This book holds a wealth of information pertaining to menopause which has, until now, been unobtainable. I'm 48, not necessarily Pre-Menopausal, but have been suffering from many of the symptoms Kathryn describes. My plan is to be tested, ASAP,in order to begin preventive treatment. This book was fantastic & I am rushing a copy to my girlfriendin Westchester who may have been suffering of premature menopause for years. The doctors do not take her seriously. At any rate, BUY THIS BOOK. Finally, the truth about menopause has been revealed as well as many ways to treat and/or deal with it. THANK YOU, KATHRYN PETRAS!!!
Everything you need to know about premature menopause - By: , 20 Aug 1999 I read about this bookin the paper & immediately ordered it. And it's great! It is packed with studies, information on HRT & risks, discussions about herbs & vitamins, the emotional problems we face & more, & includes lots of facts & studies I had never seen before. I've been doing research on this for a while & it has been difficult to find information on premature menopause. Thank you, Katherine Petras for pulling everything together & making this available! It was a real relief to find this book.
A Very Big Help - By: , 19 Aug 1999 This book is such a great help & really fills a void. I was dx'd as beingin premature menopause just two months ago, & wasn't able to find much information at all; only books that briefly mentioned itin passing. So I was so thrilled to learn about this book. The information on the emotional side of things,in particular, has been a great help to me. I highly recommend this book if you are going through menopause at an early age.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, Kathryn Petras! - By: , 25 Jul 1999 I recently got the shocking news that I was going through menopause (at age 32) -- the grief & anger were just overwhelming. This book told me everything I needed to know & plenty of stuff my doctor needed to know. But most of all it made me feel like I wasn't alone.
