As soon as you notice some irregularity in your periods, you might be starting the process, which is called peri-menopause. That will be your condition for as long as you have period, which could be anywhere from 5 to 15 years depending on all factors of your health and family history. When you have not had a period for a full 12 months, you would then be considered in full menopause. In fact, once you've gone the year without a period (or spotting), you are actually Post-menopausal.

This is called menopause (aka: change of life). The age that a woman reaches menopause varies from family to family. Most women experience peri-menopause before reaching full menopause. Peri-menopause can beginin a woman's 40's and involve the same physical symptoms as when a woman is going through "THE change" except on an intermittent or irregular basis. Hope this helps!!
