That is very unlikely. It would be a very rare woman that would hit
menopause
that young. The average age a woman enters into menopause is 52. Some
changes
may start a few years earlier, but don't forget, many women still
become
pregnant in their 40's. If in doubt, have a doctor measure your
hormone
levels to find out exactly where you are.
