[fruitsalad]

Think I've mentioned this before but I did think they may of started to slow by now, my periods are still as regular as clockwork I'm 57 very soon, is this usual or am I going to be the eldest woman ever to have her menopause?

Normal range. In the Western world, the most typical age range for menopause (last period from natural causes) is between 40 and 61[18] and the average age for last period is 51 years.[19] The average age of natural menopause in Australia is 51.7 years.[20] In India and the Philippines, the median age of natural menopause is considerably earlier, at 44 years.[21]
