Lise, don't think of this as medical _advice_ , just a sharing of knowledge.

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...

(My best friend of all time got pregnant when she was 40, horror of horrors, by accident. When I asked her how this could have possibly happened, she told me she just assumed she was too old to conceive!) (She's had a rough year- her husband turned into a woman after 25 years...) (So she had to get divorced from "Jenna.")
