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.
