Perimenopause

Is it Perimenopause?

• I have heavy, irregular periods.
• I’m retaining fluids.
• I’ve gained more than 10 pounds.
• I’m experiencing problems sleeping.
• I’m having headaches.
• I have bouts of brain-fog—like

  forgetting names, where I put my car keys, or the point of a text

  I’ve just been reading.

• I recently discovered cysts in

  my breasts.

• I have fibroid tumors.
• My endometriosis symptoms have

  gotten worse.

• I’m over age 35.
• I suffer from premenstrual anxiety,

  irritability, and mood swings.

• My interest in sex has declined.
• I’ve started to have hot flashes

  and night sweats.

If these symptoms don’t match yours, perhaps you’re

in menopause.
