Perimenopause and Periods August 25, 2021 by Dr. Lori Gore-Green (Edit)

Perimenopause is a period of time that occurs just before actual menopause when you cease menstruating. During this time, you’ll notice changes in your monthly cycle as estrogen and progesterone levels begin to fluctuate. Some months, your period may come sooner than normal. Others, you might be late. While every woman’s experience is different, knowing what to expect with perimenopause and periods can help you to navigate through this new stage in life.

Prepare for Heavier Periods Many women struggle with heavy periods at various points in their life, but perimenopause can bring flooding. Technically, a heavy period is one that involves losing 80 mL of menstrual blood. You may suspect that this is happening to you if you consistently run through multiple tampons or pads within a short period of time. Heavy periods put you at risk for serious problems such as anemia, which means you’ll want to reach out to your doctor for help.
