Not at all: it is impossible to say whether your ovaries are 45X or 46XX. The mosaicism, some tissues have many more of one than another. 45X females are typically female. Without growth hormone therapy they are under 5 feet tall. Most 45X females go through ovarian failure even before they have a chance to go through puberty, so they never menstruate.
