One of the questions I hear all the time is: “Am I too young for this to be perimenopause?”

For many women, the answer isn’t as straightforward as they expected.

The menopause transition typically happens over several years, and understanding the terminology can make it easier to recognize where you may be in that process.

Here’s a quick breakdown:
➡️ Perimenopause is the transition leading up to menopause. It can begin years before your final menstrual period, which means some women may start noticing changes earlier than they expected.

➡️ Menopause is reached once you’ve gone 12 consecutive months without a menstrual period, when there isn’t another medical or physiological reason for it.

➡️ Postmenopause refers to the years after menopause.

The average age of menopause is around 51, but there is a range of what can be considered typical. Your experience won’t necessarily look exactly like your sister’s, your friend’s, or what you’ve read online.
And age is only one piece of the picture.

Changes in your cycle, sleep, mood, hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal or urinary symptoms, and other health changes may all be worth discussing with a healthcare professional if something feels different.

There are also situations where using your menstrual period to determine menopause isn’t straightforward — including after certain surgeries, treatments, or procedures. I’ll be talking more about that next.

If you’re noticing changes and wondering, “Could this actually be perimenopause?” you don’t have to figure it out based on a timeline alone.

If you know... you know. 😉

That potato chip comparison might get a laugh, but it also opens the door to a conversation that doesn't get talked about nearly enough.

If you've noticed vaginal dryness, discomfort during Pap tests, pain with intimacy, recurrent UTIs, or irritation that wasn't there before, you might be experiencing changes related to declining estrogen during perimenopause or menopause.

These symptoms are incredibly common.

They're also incredibly under-discussed.

Too many women assume it's "just part of getting older" or feel embarrassed to bring it up. But you don't have to accept discomfort as your new normal.

There are evidence-based options that can help.

The first step is understanding what's happening in your body and knowing what treatments and supports are available.

It's always important to speak with your healthcare provider about your symptoms, and I'm here to help you understand your options, advocate for your health, and navigate this stage with confidence.

Irregular periods are common—but they’re not random.

If your cycle is:
• longer than 35 days
• shorter than 21 days
• inconsistent month to month
• or changing from your usual pattern

…it’s your body signalling that something is shifting.

Tracking your cycle is a powerful first step—whether that’s in your calendar or
using an app like Clue.

But you don’t have to figure it out on your own.

The genitourinary syndrome of menopause is real—and far more common than most women realize.

As estrogen levels drop, it can affect:
• Vaginal dryness
• Pain with intimacy
• Urinary urgency or frequency
• Recurrent UTIs

Up to 70% of women will experience these symptoms—even during perimenopause.
And yet… so many are told it’s “just part of aging” or feel too uncomfortable to bring it up.
You don’t have to live with it.

There are effective, evidence-based options—and the first step is having the right conversation with someone who understands what’s actually happening in your body.
