Q. Or, will you know you are starting menopause when you are on the pill? Will you still have normal periods? I am 32 and a bit young but the females in my family go through menopause young. I was just wondering because I am having horrible hot flashes at night and was wondering if the pill would mask menopause? Any help would be appreciated.
A. The oestrogen provided in the BCP (birth control pill) may be enough to control menopausal symptoms if you happened to be going through it whilst on birth control pills so in a way yes it could mask the fact that you were going through the menopause (depending on the level of oestrogen you are on) . Having said that, the night sweats can be side fx of the pill.
With regards to periods, the bcp causes a monthly period so there is no reason why that would necessarily stop because you may be going through an early menopause. They would stop however, if you were definitely going through menopause and not on the bcp!
If you are concerned and really want to know then a trip to the Doc to check your hormone levels esp FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) and LH ( lutenizing hormone) (used to determine if you are in or about to enter menopause) would be best but am not sure if they can test that if still on the bcp, but I'm sure they'll clarify that for you!

What age does the menopause start for a women? My period hasn't stopped for 2 months?
Q. im 50 years old, and i am getting irregular periods. My period hasn't stopped for 2 months. its been on off and on off. is this regular? is this a sign of periods for me about to end permanently for my entire life? is this a menopause?
A. You need to see a doctor. You're probably bleeding either due to a problem, or else you are perimenopausal. This is the time before menopause when you have irregular hormones and irregular periods as your ovaries sputter and stop working. Average age of menopause is 51, so you're likely right on target. Yet you ALWAYS have to get something checked out when you have weird bleeding like that.
Can the symptoms of menopause start in your early thirties?
Q. I am experiencing hot flashes at night, especially, and wondering how likely it is that I am in peri-menopause? ( pre menopause) I heard you can get symptoms years before you turn barren.
A. you can experience this even in your 20's. I would check with your doc for proper diagnosis.

I AM going through menopause, as I'm 47. One of the most important things a menopausal woman can do? Cut back her calories dramatically and focus on healthy eating. Horrible advice, when you've lived almost 50 years you'd think you'd be allowed to eat all the chocolate you want.

Is it possible to be starting menopause and all of the hormonal lab work turn out negative?
Q. My mom is 49 years old and has been having sudden anxiety/depression. She describes what sounds to be like a hot flash combined with sudden anxiety and panic. She went to the MD and was tested for elevated estrogen/progesterone/luteinizing hormone, but all were within normal limits. IS it possible to be starting menopause without having elevated hormones?
A. Yes that is precisely what happened to me - my results looked fine. The blood tests give normal results based on the average person. However each individual has different hormonal requirements. My specialist put me on a very small dose of estradiol, progesterone and testosterone and my symptoms vanished.
