Probably neither: The average age of menopause in the U.S. Is 51.6 yrs old. Menopause under 40 yrs old is very rare and may be a sign of other problems. It is possible that you are pregnant but also highly unlikely to have 5 false negative tests in a row. A more likely explaination is that your ovaries and pituitary gland are not communicating well. Your thyroid also needs to be checked. Just a simple blood test.

Probably neither: It is unlikely that you are either pregnant or through with menopause. With negative tests and no history of lack of menses for 6-12 months, menopause is highly unlikely. Most women will experience occasional and temporary change in her menses pattern. If persistent, consider talking with your ob/gyn.
