If you start your periods early will you hit the menopause earlier?

This is a little embarrassing..
I started my periods when I was nine years old. Does this mean I will go through the menopause earlier?
If its to do with family..
My mum is 47 and hasn’t gone through the menopause yet.
Im just worried.
Thanks x
Im only 15 btw.

No, and 9 is the normal maturing age for girls.

Hi ladeda, who knows what life has mapped out for us. No one can tell, all you can do is wait and see what happens.
