How Do I Know If I Am in Perimenopause?
Perimenopause can be perplexing, but understanding it doesn’t have to be.
Our approach combines a review of your history and current symptoms, along with essential blood work, to provide a comprehensive assessment.
Remember, hormone levels can fluctuate significantly, making a simple diagnosis challenging. We focus on a holistic view to understand your unique situation.
Identifying Menopause
Menopause is traditionally marked by 12 consecutive months without a period. However, every woman’s body is unique.
We recommend monitoring your FSH levels and estradiol, alongside noting any physical or emotional changes.
Our approach:
- 12 Months Without Periods: The classic marker of menopause.
- Lab Work Insights: Elevated FSH (>35) on two occasions and low estradiol (0–20) provide crucial clues.
- Track symptoms like mood swings, hot flashes, and night sweats. Your personal record is a powerful tool in managing menopause.
