Answer by kay_flood
fluctations in hormone balance can indeed be reflected in an altered dream state, and poor sleep. Good that you are seeing your doctor about it.

On average what age do women start menopause ?09.26.11

Question by giggles94pink: On average what age do women start menopause ?
My friend and I were wondering on average what age do you start menopause.

Also, if you start your period at a later age (eg17 compared to 10) does that mean you start menopause later?

Answer by july
Menopause isn’t the sudden stopping of your periods. For most women, it’s a gradual happening called “perimenopause” http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/perimenopause/DS00554, then “menopause” is defined as having gone a year without periods.

Some women in perimenopause don’t reven realize what’s happening. It often starts happening in the 40′s. Periods will get longer or shorter, or heavier or lighter, or more/less often, as hormones start declining.

Perimenopause can be triggered by running out of usable eggs in your ovaries. Before a baby girl is born, she can have millions of eggs in her ovaries. At birth, she may have 400,000-500,000 eggs. Most of these die; some are ovulated (released from the ovaries). So it can be true that later menarche (first period) can result in later menopause.

My own perimenopause started at age 38, and now at 47 I’m in true menopause.

Can you start menopause when you are on birth control pills?09.24.11

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.

Best answer:

Answer by ericamarie0303
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.
