I think the ages we are supposed to start menopause need rethinking. I was 32 when I started to have hot flashes but they were atypical. in my legs and arms. I had a baby at 33 and they stopped until 39. WHen they started again with an occasional short cycle. I was having as you say full fledged come aparts at 36 every period. We know now that increase in the severity of PMS is an early sign of menopause. I even got pregnant at 40 and miscarried. I was newly remarried so I took my temp to predict ovulation. I was bonifidely in perimenopause at 41. I had already been suffering for 8 years. I wish there had been some way my doctor could have known when I started having hot flashes at 32 that menopause would be early. I am through with the perimenopause mess and I feel and look so much better. I do miss the possibility of more children. I guess some fires never go out.
