You are considered through the menopause when you have not had a period for 2 years. The age at which you finish would depend on that, rather than a specific age.
The average age for starting the approach to the menopause is between 45-55, so there is quite a big span in which this can happen.
Unfortunately, at the moment it is really impossible to tell when you might start or finish the menopause as it can depend on factors such as when other close female relatives started.
It may also depend on whether you smoke, have a healthy lifestyle and weight, or have other health issues.
