Having symptoms of perimenopause during your 30's is not unheard of, but is on the early end of the spectrum. On average the process of menopause typically begins in the 45-55 age range. Has your doctor ordered any blood tests to see if you are going through early menopause? There is no exact way to tell if the symptoms you are experiencing are from menopause, but there are a couple blood tests you can have done even though neither is completely accurate. A woman has reached true menopause when she has gone a full year without having a menstrual cycle. Irregular periods are very common in the perimenopausal stage. It is possible to have a baby in the perimenopause phase as ovulation does still take place. This is why some women have late-in-life babies. They think they have reached menopause because they have gone several months without a period, but if it has been less than 12 full months without a period you have to assume you may still be fertile. I am 49 years old and have been having perimenopause symptoms for about 6 years. Here is a good web site I have used to find menopause information, there is a section on pregnancy and perimenopause. http://www.4woman. gov/menopause/stages/p…

Not likely. Talk to your doctor though. Menopause is the natural and permanent stopping of the monthly female reproductive cycles. It literally means that the female reproductive system is shutting down. You will no longer ovulate, hence you'll never become pregnant.

Yes it is possiable. But its very rare.

Do you still have SOME periods---just very infrequently? If so, then it is possible. If you are finally done having periods, your body is not ovulating, and your uterus is not building up a lining to support a pregnancy, so no, it would not be possible. You're pretty young to be going through menopause already. Have you been diagnosed as early menopause? If you just have infrequent cycles, then that isn't necessarily menopause; it is possible that your hormones are out-of-whack and that with proper medicines, you could still conceive. I'd suggest seeing a fertility specialist sooner, rather than later! Good luck!
