Question

The reproductive phase of a woman lies between her ___ and menopause.

Answer 1

The reproductive phase of a woman starts from her first period (menarche) at around 11-14 years of age. And it stops at the point when menstrual cycles permanently ceases due to the natural depletion of ovarian oocytes from aging(48-50 years). This is called menopause. Hence, the reproductive phase of women lies between their menarche and menopause.
