  I just turned 47 and wonder when I will go thru menopause. Some say it depends on when you had your first child; you have it late-you go thru the "change" late. I had my 1st when I was 31. (taking 2 yrs to conceive) . My only other child was born 4 yrs ago in April, when I was 43.
  As far as my mother's history, she had her 1st (me) when she was 15. And she has been thru
  menopause for 3-4 years now.
  So, no matter what I hear or read, menopause is still a mystery to me. And yes, it would be nice to know when it will happen beforehand.

  I understand mabemom's position - BUT, it doesn't matter if you know when it will start or not - you can't change it, so what's the point? If you find out it will start in 10 years, will that make you feel better now, than finding out it will start in 15 years? You should only worry about things you can change.

  I would want to know. I suffer w/ PCOS/endometriosis every day of my life. According to my doctor, until I start showing signs of menopause they won't do anything to relieve me of the pain because of my age and the risk of the hormone replacements. So knowing when this suffering may end would be very helpful to me!
