Hello, I’m 42, female. I’ve started having symptoms that look like menopause has started to happen. I had no bleeding last month. Then it occurred and lasted for about 10 days, and it usually last 4-5. And what’s the most important, it just surprised me, I had no symptoms that I was due to. Please tell me what age does menopause start in most women? I never thought that it would be this early…
I think that it’s perimenopause that you are talking about. Menopause most commonly occurs from age 46-53. But FSH test is done to diagnose menopause. It’s a simple blood test. I did it when I had symptoms similar to yours. Perimenopause happens before and after menopause and lasts different in each woman.
