Hi Nostr community, today is World menopause day, so I'm making a comeback after some months, to leave you some basic definitions to orient you on the journey.
Unfortunately, most women in their late 30βs & 40βs have no idea what menopause is. And, if they have it, itβs based on what the media feeds us: a devastating disease, where your ovaries stop functioning, and after it its THE END. Nothing farther from the truth π₯!
Many feel confused and disoriented because they donβt know whatβs going on. Others feel they arenβt getting the support they need, or are spending years trying to figure it out on their own.
So here are some basic definitions to get you oriented on this journey which lasts about a decade,and what you can expect.
Symptoms of perimenopause include:
π₯ Irregular periods
π₯ Memory issues, brain fog
π₯ Anxiety
π₯ Less stress resiliency
π₯ Mood swings, Depression
π₯ Migraines
π₯ breast pain
π₯ heavy periods
Joint pain
But the truth is that the temporary perimenopausal symptoms are our bodies and brains re-patterning to new hormonal and brain pathways, away from reproduction into sustaining the second part of our lives.
And these are symptoms that take a toll in our quality of life, and are not to take lightly or just endure.
π³ Perimenopause π³
Perimenopause begins 2-8 years before we cease to menstruate, our periods start to fluctuate. They become farther apart or closer, scantier or heavier.
Here you have early perimenopause and late perimenopause (see my next post)
First you have a stage of early perimenopause that is characterized by low progesterone and high relative estrogen.
Then, late perimenopause follows with high and fluctuating estrogen. And these can come with distinct symptoms, related to estrogen leaving the house, followed by its partner progesterone.
π³ Menopause π³
Refers to the permanent cessation of menses after a year of complete absence of menstruation.
π³ Postmenopause π³
The period after menopause and when bleeding has stopped for over 12 months.
What has been your experience with Perimenopause so far?

Can't believe is end of July already! Here is a podcast episode, where I share about how we can understand the #menstrualcycle through a different lens, not as a burden but as a superpower!
