How do you know when you have started menopause? This is a question that most people who are reaching a certain age are asking. Some women start menopause around their fifties and others may start earlier. I had a friend who told me some years ago, that she was diagnosed by her doctor to be in menopause. She was in her early forties. Menopause may start at different times for women who are reaching middle age. If you are questioning whether you are going through menopause or not.
