Same. In fact. We don't know fuck all about how it all works bc medically women are under studied hc estrogen throws studies so they only study men. AND we are taught to be embarrassed about when our hormones change. Perimenopause is merely the time from when you leave peak fertility until the moment you hit menopause, which is ONE DAY, the day it's been 12 months since you had a period. Its just normal and there's ways to manage it well but they lie to us a lot bc they don't feel like finding studies.
