Perimenopause Help

Question by XyraKhari: How do birth control and heredity affect the onset of menopause?
I have been taking birth controlfor the past 5 years. will it make me get menopause earlier or later? does birth control affect it? Will i get menopause around the same time my mother did or is heredity uninvolved?

Answer by Q
Birth control pills won’t affect age at menopause because menopause is more determined by overall age of the ovaries, not how much or how little the ovaries have been used. There is some heredity involved, but there are a lot of environmental factors, too, and that will have a huge effect, possibly more than heredity.

Question by starryeyed75: Can you start menopause when you are on birth control pills?
Or, will you know you are starting menopause when you are on the pill? Will you still have normal periods? I am 32 and a bit young but the females in my family go through menopause young. I was just wondering because I am having horrible hot flashes at night and was wondering if the pill would mask menopause? Any help would be appreciated.

No, the pill will not affect menopause. The pill does regulate periods, but it will not cause your body to continue to have them after menopause has begun.
