| 1 year from first missed period to last period. Menopause officially a year after that |

This is so person specific it’s almost useless to ask.
One friend went from regular to nothing in 2 months and hasn’t had one for 2 years. Another friend went 8 months then had two months of light bleeding. Then theres me - irregular for 3 years |

I had 6 years of hot flashes and other symptoms but regular periods. Then the hot flashes stopped last year. I haven't had a period since December. |

No skipping it just stopped? |

| I skipped a period three years ago. I’ve had hot flashes, night sweats, heavy periods, and other perimenopause symptoms for about four years. Period still going strong. |

| Started becoming somewhat irregular at age 42-43. I’m now 50. Sometimes I skip two or three months, but for the past four or five months I’ve been pretty regular. This can take a long time and apparently can be vastly different among different women. |

| Heavy bleeding started 49, 57 just skipped for 3-4 months, then heavy period. Tested still not menopause but hoping this shi$ stops soon. |
