You should talk to your doctor about this. All women are different. Also talk to your mum.
AnswerIt is usually accepted that you are not past menopause until you have gone 2 years without a period if you are under 50 and 1 year without a period if you are over 50.Incidentally my grandmother and mother both had their last period at 42 and I was 43. We were very lucky and none of us had any symptoms except stopping our periods. My 44 year old sister is still having regular periods.

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.

Yes, but the only problem is that your cycle will not be regular as it has been so you don't know when you will ovulate. This is one reason that many babies result when menopause begins. You may go two months with no period and then have one for a week in month three. Finally, after 3-6 months of no periods you will be in menopause. It is very disconcerning, so still use protection if you are sexually active.
