Do you think a person might reasonably expect to have started menopause by 53?

Would a hormonal BC devise have any effect on the onset?

Just curious...

Good Lord. I'll say no more about the "Jenna" situation. 40 is far from too old to conceive!

53 is definitely in the menopausal range. Most of the symptoms we associate with menopause are from decreasing estrogen, so using a hormonal BC method could blunt the effects
