You have 7 million eggs as a female fetus that
is 5 months old. However we only ovulate 400 eggs, and human females start losing viable healthy eggs before you enter menopause, and this is the official way we enter menopause, around the age of 51 or 52.
The later you enter menopause, and the later you have had a child (over 40, and over 45 is even better), the more likely it is you will live past 100.
Genetically it is determined how quickly you will enter menopause, and those having a later menopause may still have to deal with contraception and menstrual cycles, but as for hormone levels having a later menopause means that you will be healthier.
Many years of health ovarian hormone exposure is good for much of our health. There is something about the number of fertile years, and how you use those fertile years that predicts how long you are going to live.
Of course more than the age of menopause will determine longevity. If you have a baby later in life, over the age of 33, you are more likely to live long.
The later you have your last period prior to menopause, the more total duration of estrogen and this too predicts a longer life, we reported in discussion of an article in Menopause Volume 22, No.1, 2015.
Stress, nutrition, life style factors (smoking), obesity, chemotherapy all impact on the last menstrual period. So you can improve your longevity, by preserving both your fertility and your ovarian function through healthy living! There are ways to maximize this health and you should come in to Women's Health Practice discuss how!
