You know it's inevitable. But everything seems ok right now.
Here's the thing most people miss- it's not menopause that's the problem. It's perimenopause. The time between regular cycling and when it's done- forever!
Here are three surprising things people miss about perimenopause:
1- You might be in perimenopause and not even know it!
Even though you are still cycling fairly regularly, estrogen and progesterone levels might be shifting. This can look like longer or shorter cycles, increased days of bleeding, night sweats, hot flashes or worsened PMS.
2- You can have a regular cycle and not ovulate!
It's called an anovulatory cycle, meaning you bleed but don't ovulate. If you don't ovulate, you don't make progesterone. This can lead to feeling anxious, emotional, increased PMS and poor sleep.
3- Perimenopause doesn't have to be uncomfortable!
Stress is one of the biggest factors in your perimenopause journey. If you work to manage your stress before you get to this time in life, it can greatly increase the likelihood of a smooth and easy experience.
You don't have to be in the dark. There are answers out there.
