Is it useful to measure hormones even though my period came back?

Hi everyone,
I just got my second period post chemo. Of course I'm most happy about that! I'm only 29 and the idea of already being permanently menopausal did not thrill me. What I wonder is this: is there a way to measure my hormone levels so that I can learn "how close to menopause I am"? How may years forward I was pushed by chemo?
All comments are much appreciated.

Blood Test FSH (Follicle-stimulating Hormone)
Hi Eva,
There is a simple blood test called FSH (Follicle-stimulating Hormone) that you can ask your doctor to order.
