If your period started when you were a little older (14) does that mean you are likely to hit menopause later or earlier? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

The average age of menopause is 51 years. The normal age range for the occurrence of menopause is somewhere between the age of 45 and 55. Last period ever occurring between the ages of 55 to 60 is known as a "late menopause". An "early menopause" on the other hand is defined as last period ever between the age of 40 to 45.
