Re: 54???
in reply to a message by Solveig
My mom didn't go through menopause until her late 50s, which apparently is uncommon...hm, I've never really thought about the average age before...
It's obviously rare (and maybe risky?) for a woman to have children in her 50s, but it's still naturally possible. I don't think there's anything wrong with it.

Most women start menopause in their 50s and finish by their 60s. I don't know why my mom finished menopause so early, and I find it really odd that I have taken after her in that aspect.
For me the only real signs of perimenopause is extremely irregular periods, periods that come closer and closer together and heavier periods. I actually talked to my doctor a few months ago to just check in about this and given my family history and symptoms she concluded that I was perimenopausal.
