I sure wish that there was a simple answer to this question. Every woman is different - there is no" one size fits all" answer. There is simply no set age that every woman begins perimenopause and menopause. (I call it PM&M for short.)

The peri part can be a 6 -10 year process. During that time your hormone levels begin taking a nose dive - south! When your hormones drop you can begin experiencing all kinds of weird changes. Once you have been without your period for a whole year - then you have reached menopause.

First, find a doctor that specializes in PM&M.

A good way to determine if you are in PM&M is to have your hormone levels checked.

During PM&M our hormones take a dive south! Lowestrogen can cause crying, tension, hyper-sensitivity, mood swings, depression, poor self esteem, inability to concentrate, anxiousness, outbursts of anger, sleep disturbances, joint aches and pains, night sweats, hot flashes...just to name a few! Low testosterone can cause fatigue, dry skin, low libido and headaches. Some women experience next to no symptoms...some experiences many of these.

You quit having periods and don't have any spotting. You stop having hot flashes or night sweats. You hardly ever have mood swings. It only takes two or three years at the most to finish menopause.

Get your OBGYN to do a blood test to check your horomone levels. Some women can start it early a 30's and others get it late at 60's. Ask your mom or grandmother when they started theirs. Yours should be about the same. Also certain conditions like endometriosis and PCOS can be signs of early menopause.
