Could this be the start of menopause? Are you wondering if maybe it’s The Change of Life? Well, wonder no more! Let’s take a gander at what the fuss is all about.

Menopause and Perimenopause

Simply put, menopause is the stage when you no longer have periods. You are said to be menopausal, or in menopause when a year has passed since your last period.

At this time, ovulation (egg release) has ceased and your body no longer has monthly cycles.

Menopause is a perfectly natural part of life, just like puberty was with it’s growing pains, irregular periods, hormonal changes, and mood swings.

We are just doing it in reverse these days!

Perimenopause, or “premenopause” as it’s sometimes been called, is the stage before you enter menopause. As you near menopause your hormones may fluctuate wildly, causing very uncomfortable symptoms for some women.

Perimenopause can last anywhere from just a few years to ten years or more.The average age for women entering menopause is said to be 51 years, but of course this varies greatly. Some women enter perimenopause in their 30’s, others not until well into their late 50’s or 60’s.

Some of the Symptoms Women May Experience Are:

Hot Flashes, Night Sweats, Insomnia, Weight Gain, Irregular Periods,

Mood Swings, Irritability, Anxiety, Depression, Fatigue, and

Memory Issues
