You have officially reached menopause when you’ve gone one full year without a menstrual cycle and have a permanent cessation of menstrual bleeding. In the United States, the average age of menopause is 51.
Some women, however, may reach menopause before age 40, which requires management from the women’s health care team at Trusted Women's Health Center.
Before you officially hit menopause, your body goes through a transitional period called perimenopause as your hormones fluctuate. During perimenopause, you may still continue to have a menstrual cycle, but your periods may be spaced out with no predictable pattern.
