	Answer by Dr Rowena S, MD (doctor) on Fri 12, Jun 2009 08:17pm: Hi, The onset of menopause differs from one person to another. If you still have your period and may still be ovulating, you may need to have additional protection or contraception. Discuss with your gynecologist for the best option suited for you.
