Peri starts in late 30s.

Not usually, no, with some exceptions. Women usually notice symptoms starting in their 40s. Some don't have any negative symptoms at all and go into menopause without any sort of problems.

The insomnia and tiredness starts earlier if you pay attention.

I'm an NP and this may be true for you but absolutely not true for everyone. It's very strange that you are trying to tell people how their own bodies work.

NP. It’s absolutely bizarre that people in their 30s think their issues relate to perimenopause rather than say having young children or being in a demanding phase of their career.

For YOU. Some people feel nothing.

+ 10.

I resent OP coming in here. But I’m not surprised. I am over 50 with PCOS, now called PCOD, and it took me a decade to get the diagnosis. I don’t want that for anyone. I still loathe companies like Inner Balance using testimonials primarily from mid-30s women on giant doses of estrogen merrily bragging about a “restored” libido. It’s all bllsht, it’s all late stage capitalistic enshitification, and it’s identical to how the makers of Botox now have actors talk about how their expressivity “caused” their crow’s feet as if those creases are evidence of disease or “rapid aging.”

OP’s PMS and HG are not correlated with early or late menopause or rough perimenopause. So eff off and I say the same and wish the worst for every younger women here who posts to effectively say, I don’t want to fail at life and age like you losers, how can I prevent it? You can’t.

I agree with the weight training suggestion. It gets harder to do.

Also make sure you have at least a primary care and OB that you like and trust, ideally progressive, young out of med school, sex positive that have heard of menopause.

You won't get these shifts for at least 20 years.

I'm 49 and it's just starting, maybe.

Enjoy everything about yourself now.

Do not gain weight at peri. I gained 40 lbs and now have high cholesterol and blood pressure plus pre-diabetes. I don’t want to step into a controversy about telling someone to watch their weight. It’s not for reasons of being able to fit into your favorite pants. It’s for your long-term health. I feel that if I had been able to get HRT during perimenopause, the physical transition would’ve been a lot easier for me and the mental one too. Get the facts about that find out if you have any history of risk in your family and then discuss those risks with your doctor. I think the best way to prepare is just to really be informed. Also, talk to your relatives and try to find out how it went for them.

Exactly. I am 50 with regular-ish periods and very infrequent hot flashes at night. Otherwise NBD.

Sit back, relax and enjoy the ride, OP!
