Perimenopause
Is this perimenopause? A symptom-by-symptom guide
Perimenopause rarely announces itself. It arrives as a collection of things that don't obviously belong together — a period that comes early, then late. Waking at three in the morning. A short fuse. Aching hips. A word that won't surface.
This guide covers which symptoms usually come first, the ones nobody warns you about, what testing can and can't tell you, and exactly what to write down before your next appointment.
