      Infertility (or poor fertility) as a proper fertile cycle relies on a the rise and fall of FSH to release an ovum at the right time. And it is high during menopause – when women become infertile. But I’m not sure what effects that would have in the long term – I think a woman could run out eggs in her ovaries as she might release too many during each menstrual cycle.
