Well now that my periods are gone ( no periods in 4 months) I feel like I am going crazy. My anxiety is so bad I can’t stand myself. I forget everything and the hot flashes are 6 to 8 times and day.

My girlfriend and I were talking about the new birth control that makes it so you only have 4 periods a year. She brought up an interesting question though: Does having less periods mean having a later menopause?

Information I’ve been able to find seems 50/50. Some sites say menopause is directly related to a lower egg count in a woman’s overies, while others state its due mostly to general aging of the overies.

Can anyone shed some light on this question?

I hate that my period’s irregular! I always think that I’m fine and then I go and bleed all over my underwear at school when I can’t just change them and wash them, and the blood sets in. I’ve had my period for just over a year, so I know that it can still be bouncing around, but for how long?
