What Stage Are You?
The Stages!!!
Perimenopause: The Sneaky Prelude
Imagine this: One day, your period is like clockwork, and the next? It’s a complete mystery. One month it’s heavy, the next it’s light, then suddenly…poof! Gone for months. Welcome to perimenopause!
What’s going on?
Hormones are fluctuating like a rollercoaster, estrogen levels spike and crash unpredictably.
You might feel more irritable than usual (cue the mood swings).
Sleep disturbances make you question if you’ll ever feel rested again.
And let’s not forget hot flashes and night sweats, because who doesn’t love waking up drenched?
Did you know? Perimenopause can last anywhere from a few months to over 10 years!
Menopause: The Grand Entrance
This is it, the official milestone. If you’ve gone 12 months without a period, congratulations, you’ve officially hit menopause! But the symptoms? Yeah, they don’t just disappear overnight.
What’s happening?
- Hot flashes—Your body’s thermostat is officially out of order.
- Night sweats—Sleep? What’s that?
- Brain fog—Forgetful? Scattered? It’s not just you.
- Vaginal dryness—Because nature has a sense of humor.
- Fatigue—Menopause exhaustion is real!
Science says: The drop in estrogen affects your heart, bones, metabolism, and mood. But the good news? You’re officially PMS-free for life!
Postmenopause: The New Normal
Now that your period is history, what’s next? A new chapter. While your body is adjusting to lower estrogen, it’s time to focus on bone health, heart health, and self-care.
Common postmenopausal changes:
- Increased risk of osteoporosis—strong bones need extra love now.
- Higher risk of heart disease—estrogen used to be your protector.
- Metabolism slowdown—stubborn belly fat? Yep, it’s a thing.
Good news? Not all women will have the same or any symptoms. Many women feel more confident, energized, and focused after menopause than ever before! This is your time to shine.
