What is Perimenopause?

Perimenopause is a transition marked by fluctuations in oestrogen and progesterone in addition to a decline in these hormones in late perimenopause .

You may begin having menopause-like symptoms, such as hot flashes or irregular periods, mood changes such as anxiety ,weight gain, sleep disturbances and other symptoms such as worsening migraines . Some women notice these changes as early as their 30’s but for the majority of women this happens in their 40s.The term perimenopause simply describes the time when your cycles are no longer predictable. Other physical changes and symptoms can occur as your body adjusts to different hormone levels. During perimenopause, your fertility is declining, but you still can become pregnant. The symptoms of perimenopause, the age it starts and how long it lasts will vary between women. You are considered menopausal once you’ve had 12 consecutive months without a menstrual period.
