What are the first signs of perimenopause?

Typically, the first sign of perimenopause that you’ll notice is that your periods will begin to change from the way they’ve regularly appeared for you in the past.

This could mean that your menstrual cycle doesn’t start at the same time each month, or it could mean that perimenopause causes shorter or longer periods that occur sporadically. It can also change the flow of your period, making it heavier or lighter than usual.
