When do you stop being fertile after the menapause?

After menopause, which typically occurs between ages 45 and 55, a woman is considered to have stopped being fertile. Menopause is defined as having gone 12 consecutive months without a menstrual period, indicating that the ovaries have ceased releasing eggs. Therefore, fertility ends with menopause, and women do not have the ability to conceive naturally after this point. However, hormonal changes may continue for several years during the perimenopausal phase leading up to menopause.
