“Perimenopause can start several years before menopause, often in the early to mid-40s, although it can begin earlier for some women.”
What Dr Zara Haider has said
“We still see women stopping contraception too early because they assume they can't get pregnant, when in reality contraception is needed until menopause is confirmed or until age 55. There's also been a lasting impact from outdated or flawed studies around risks like breast cancer, which has understandably made some women cautious about hormones.”

“Women shouldn't have to navigate unnecessary hurdles to get emergency contraception, particularly when time matters. Yet these findings show that a significant number of people are worried they won't be able to get it when they need it.”
