Premature ovarian failure, ulcerative colitis and HRT

Hi, I am new to this forum, but I have been reading posts here since 2012, when I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. Thank you very much all!
I have been on SCD died since couple months after I was diagnosed. My period start skipping months here and there since 2009-2010, but I was very stressed out back then( going through divorce, starting over from scratch), so I put it down to all this happening to me.
Well, since 12/2013 my periods start diminishing and in 04/02/2014 I got diagnosed with Premature Ovarian Failure. I forgot to mention, I am 34 years old, originally from Bulgaria, but I live in Chicago and have been living since 2008, divorced, so single, and I also have androgenic alopecia(UGHH).
I am about to start HRT, but I am looking for advices and experiences, and overall help here, where I have always found the best advices and help!!!

Thank you very much for the response!

I am doing alright with my UC I suppose, but have flare here and there, which I am usually handling with very strict died. All I eat during flare is bananas, rotisserie chicken, eggs and apple sauce. It usually takes me 5-7 days to calm down.

Lately I've been wanted to add new items to my died, but still afraid. I've been extremely strict with the SCD died, no cheating at all, for almost 2 years, but I do not do well with dairy, so I don't eat yogurt or cheese. I want to start adding hard cheeses and home made yogurt.

My concern now is should I give the HRT try, or it is going to mess my UC up?! It is really hard to make a choice between UC and hormone imbalance, but I definitely don't want to loose my colon. On the top of it I wanted to get pregnant sooner, and I've been reading a lot about how much HRT could help you to get pregnant. Ugh, how did I end up here, and "only 34", people like to say;))
The doctors told me that it is all connected, so I've decided to look for more stories here, people with the same complex problems, but I am very happy there are none:))

My FSH on 04/02/14 was 54, and on 04/19/14 was 106, LH was 53, estradiol was 20, progesterone was 0.4.

The inflammation is "the visualized terminal ileum looked normal. Colitis found in the distal 10 cm of the rectum. Diagnosis: infectious, likely IBD(UC proctitis), internal hemorrhoids." I haven't had colonoscopy since the initial diagnosis, and I had 2 c-diff infections after the colonoscopy, so I think it got worst!

Does it mean you don't have any inflammation if the last colonoscopy did not found evidence? It sounds very good, and I am extremely happy for you:))

You are absolutely right, but my UC doctor doesn't really care( he is resident doctor and has attendant, which I've never seen). I don't have insurance and the only hospital in Illinois I can go to is Cook County Hospital, and they have millions and millions of patients every day. My RE is there as well, and she gave me HRT or BC, my choice to start from June 1.

That's why I've been doing my research before I decide which one to start. And I have to start taking something for sure, or I am going to loose my hair, and my mind( I start forgetting a lot, and am having hard time concentrating, which is the low estrogen fault)
