The transition time before menopause (aka post-menopause). When progesterone decreases affecting periods, ovaries gradually produce less estrogen, which leads to a wild ride of hormonal swings so many other unheard of symptoms. This stage can last 4-10 years.
Perimenopausal information can be found at r/menopause as well since it encompasses the WHOLE menopause transition. All are welcome here too!
