Genetics plays a big part. But medical issues can being it on early and also delay. Stress too. So you really never know.

Speaking of genetics, my dad is in his early 70's and he has a head full of black hair and my mom is in her 60's but she drastically does look old, her hair and makeup still looks great. Just saying

*doesn't drastically look old*

70’s with black hair still? Good for him! (And good on your mother too)
Is he someone that handles stress well?

[Asker]

Yeah he handles stress really well

That depends on when you first had your period. The sooner you started the sooner you'll reach menopause.

[Asker]

I had it at 11

[menina]

Ok. Then you'll probably reach it in your late 40's or early 50's.

[Asker]

Okay that's fine

Perhaps you should ask your doctor. They might be able to give you more information about this.

Probably sometime between the age of 40 and 70.

[Asker]

70? I never heard of that number when the word menopause comes up

It was a bit of hyperbole. There is no reliable way to predict when you will begin menopause.
