like doom said, while your natural production of test is being shut down while you are on any AAS, you are doing so because you are breaking down your body's natural feedback loop because you are essentially overloading your system with test and your body senses that it can stop production b/c there is more than enough flowing around. as for a woman, you are not supplementing your system with more estrogen.
now while anti-e's such as arimidex and novladex are used in the long term to treat breast cancer, i do not know of the doese compared to the doeses used in bb purposes. but remember these women are also under constant medical supervision.
as far as pseudo-menopause, this can be induced by a woman reaching a low enough bf% naturally. as a woman's bf% gets lowered enough, she will start to lose her period b/c her body sense that she does not have enough fat to support a pregnancy, so the body automatically shuts that down. when a woman in the sport takes an anti-e, she is already in the low bf% and needs the extra boost to help loose the slight bit of water she is holding, this is not a long term solution for a woman to lose weight.
as for health problems associated with menopause, you can see a more detailed list if you look it up on webmd, but the main ones are osteoporosis, heart disease, loss of muscle, and i believe an increase chance for incontinence. then if you are considering giving it to a woman in the long term who has not had children and still within child bearing years, you can run the risk of lowering her fertility.
if you are thinking of trying to "rid" your girl of other sources of estrogen that she thinks may be holding on to a last bit of fat, one option to consider before even looking at anti-e's is to remove her from her birth control pill. though it is a small dose you are still effectively putting a synthetic estrogen into your system.
