Does the age you first got your period determine when you will go into menopause?

No, it has nothing to do with it. I started mine at 9 and I am still having regular ones in my 40′s.

menopause
Well my answer to that would be “NO”, only because I have 4 sisters, and we all started our’s at 12, and one of my sister’s and myself are the youngest two of us 6 kids, right…… Well,, she went through actual menopause at 45, and I’m going through Perimenopause, and have been for two years now! This isn’t actual menopause until you’ve missed a consecutive period for 12 months!! Perimenopause is when a woman still gets her periods, but there like every once in awhile… Like, I’ve gone 6 months without, and then 8 months without one, and my sister also went through this before going through actual menopause!! I actually get the sweats and slight mood swings, (not bad, tho), and all of the symptoms of actual menopause, but our two older sister’s still get them regularly every month, and their 47, & 49.. But, our Oldest sister went through hers when she was 49! And didn’t mention anything to us about going through Perimenopause at all !!! She just had the Actual Menopause, and was done with it !!! So, I’d say you cant go by when you first started as a teenager, at all !!! I could be wrong, however, but look at my family!!! Smile!!! I’ll be so glad when I get the “Real-Deal !!!”

The age you started doesn’t really determine your Menopausal age. I was 1wk. off my nineth Birthday I became Pre- Men. 53. We all are supplied with many 1000s of eggs to last. through. When they are no longer viable etc. we commence the next stage of life. However some conditions can interfere ie. Endometriosis., Hormonal, Cancer,infertility can result.
If you plan on having children don’t wait too long from 27 the change of getting pregnant starts to decline quite considerably. I’m not sure on the stats about 20% I think you can check that on the Web anyway under fertility and age best to conceive and declining changes and infertility. IVF is a way but isn’t the wonder cure for all.
My Sis tried 14yrs, finally had eggs donated and became pregnant. A lot of emotional stress on both partners when going through this.
Hope that answered it for you.
