i remember reading, though i can't seem to find the link for it, that the true reason for menopause is that each cycle's ovum release induces massive scarification on the ovary, rendering a large area of it useless for later cycles. If there were a way to remove that scar issue (magic regeneration potions? they can easily regrow significant parts of a skeleton afterall...) a woman would have enough 'in the tank' for multiple millennia of fertility.As for the relatively short fertile years, I'm treating the female reproductive cycle as a developmental process that runs from a definite beginning to a definite conclusion, rather than a stochastically-driven breakdown like the rest of aging.
