Does perimenopause affect your period?

It doesn’t necessarily work this way for everyone, but due to fluctuating estrogen levels, it can begin to affect your period in ways other than making it stop occurring.

In some cases, women may notice that perimenopause causes longer or shorter periods that occur more randomly, or that their periods skip a month or two and then return as normal for a while. It can also cause heavier periods or spotting in between periods, depending on your individual biology, genetics, health, and other factors like lifestyle.

There’s no single one-size-fits-all approach to managing perimenopause, because everyone’s experience is going to be unique.

Our practitioners are skilled at helping identify the specific perimenopause symptoms that you’re facing, so that they can work with you to create a personalized plan that fits both your needs and your lifestyle.
