It's often said women start with a fixed amount of eggs, that they shed in their fertile years window. Does that mean an earlier first period also causes them to enter menopause earlier? I wonder if that explains partially the fertility problems people face delaying having children.

But fertility problems are more likely an issue because people tend to get pregnant later in life than before. https://speakingofwomenshealth.com/column/does-early-menstruation-mean-early-menopause https://speakingofwomenshealth.com/column/does-early-menstru...
