Navigating new changes? You’re not alone!

👉🏻Perimenopause is the phase leading up to menopause. It usually starts in your 40s and can last several years. During this time, your hormone levels—especially estrogen and progesterone—start to fluctuate. This can cause changes in your menstrual cycle, like periods that come more or less often, or are heavier or lighter than usual. You might also notice symptoms like hot flashes, trouble sleeping, mood changes or vaginal dryness.
👉🏻Menopause itself is defined as the point when you’ve gone 12 months without a period. The average age is around 51, but it can happen earlier or later depending on your genetics, lifestyle and health history. Once menopause occurs, your hormone levels settle at lower levels, and your ovaries stop releasing eggs.

“This marks the end of your reproductive years, but it also signals a new phase of health that deserves attention and care,” says

Navigating midlife changes can feel confusing, and you are not alone. Approximately 6,000 women in the U.S. reach menopause each day.
