If you started your periods early...

[MissAtomicBomb1]

Did you experience early menopause?
I thought I'd read that this was likely to correlate.
I'm curious as mine started at 10 years old and I'm now 43 with no peri symptoms & pretty sure I ovulate every month. Wondering when I can expect it to start. I think my mum went through it at around 50. Did you through it at a similar age to your mum. Maybe this is a better indicator?

Started just after my 11th birthday, penultimate period just after my 50th and last one just after my 51st!

Started at 12 finished at 55.

i think my mum was younger than me but I’m not sure.

I was 11. My periods eventually stopped 6 months before my 60th birthday! After 6 years of horrendously heavy periods/flooding, endless tests, scans, hormone tablets on and off. My mum was 45 when she started, 51 when hers stopped

My mum started her periods at 10 and went through menopause at 57! My sister and I started at 12 and my sister is Now 57 with signs only just starting to show. I’m 49 with no sign of menopause. I really wish I could get it over and done with!

Started at 12.
Still having regular periods at nearly 54.

I started my periods at 11 and am still having the odd one at almost 55 despite having the coil. I am so over them now.

Started at 11. Still having regular periods at 50

Oh blimey! There might still be a way to go for me then!!
Lots of my friends are starting peri so I thought it must be imminent. I kind of thought that as we all have a finite number of eggs mine might be all used up soon!

10
Still going at 51 🤬

Started at 9, still having regular periods at 51.

I was the complete opposite - started periods at 15, menopause confirmed at 48.

Started at 12, finshed at 50.

Started at 10 and after I think 8 years of peri finally stopped when I was 48. Not sure when my mums started but her peri/menopause was around the same age as mine.

10 and still getting one every three weeks at 49. I'm sure I've read that the earlier you start the later you are likely to stop.

Started a week before my 12th.birthday - still regular at 2 weeks off my 48th birthday. I've had long periods of no periods though mainly down to lots of children so I don't know if that will delay menopause. Think my mum was.eaely mid 50s with hera but she was very late starting her periods - 16 if I remember rightly.

Started at 10, stopped completely by 46.

Started my periods at 9. Menopause all over and done with by 50.

I'm sure I read somewhere that the younger you started the older you finished...

I was 13 when I started, so not early, but started noticing perimenopausal symptoms at 44. I don't know when my periods stopped as I had a Mirena coil.

Goodness me, I can't believe how long some of you poor ladies have had to put up with periods! I started at 12, finished at 49 with irregular periods from 43.

Started at 11 - in peri hell at nearly 53! I'm so over it. Every month I think this may be the last- nope! The night sweats have stopped (started when I was 48 ish) so that it great- I only had 5 years of it
got very excited when I skipped a period this Summer for it to come back with a vengeance the next month.

I just know I have PMT right now so that sucks!
I buy a box of orange tampax every week so I have enough and at least 2 packs of pads for the month. Horrible! my own mum was done at 41 and cant believe it's still happening to me. My younger sis has been done for 2/3 years so I think it doesn't always correlate to your family.
Can you tell I'm in the PMT rant stage rage and hunger!

I started at 9 in the January and turned 10 in the April.

I hand an endometrial ablation at 44 which stopped my periods completely and then went through the menopause at 47 and had no problems whatsoever.

Started at 10, finished at - I think - 52? Though the last big bleed (six months of bleeding 5-7 days per week) was probably due to fibroids. They were removed, I had one actual period and then it was over.

Started at 16. Haven't had a period for 3 months at 51. Just started on hot flushes. Still not native this is the end though as I kissed a period last year.
