How do I know if I am going through peri menopause or just feeling rubbish?
Menopause is defined as the time when your period has stopped for at least 12 months. The average age for menopause for Australian women is 52 (need source), but of course it can be a lot earlier than that. Prior to menopause is the time called peri-menopause which can be up to ten (holy hell!) years of rollercoaster symptoms. And then of course there are many women who go through early menopause for various reasons.
Your symptoms can be things like:
- crazy heavy periods one month to no periods at all the next
- hot flushes or night sweats
- mood swings, anxiety or worsening PMS style symptoms that may come at any time of the month
- weight gain and finding it hard to shift weight
- swollen, sore boobs
- vaginal dryness, loss of interest in sex
- inability to concentrate or find the correct word
- feeling very tired, lacking in energy and pep and generally just not feeling like yourself
- plus a bunch more awesomeness that makes life so fun…
Whether you’re in your early to mid 40s and starting to feel pretty off with symptoms like the above, or your period has actually stopped then you may be peri or menopausal. Your GP or health professional will be able to diagnose you formally.
We felt so in the dark about peri & menopause that we created this program!
What we didn’t know when we reached our approx mid-forties was that we would be hit with some weird symptoms and no-one seemed to be able to shed light on what was happening or how to treat.
What we began to realise was that everyone had a different opinion on how to deal with peri-menopause, but very few women were talking openly about it. And when they did it was an utterly depressing conversation that made everyone feel pretty hopeless about it.
We started our own journeys into peri-menopause and have discovered a LOT along the way. But we wanted to know more so we have consulted with our expert panel and found some of the best people in their fields to talk about symptoms, treatment and the simple things we can do to make the transition better.
What we also discovered is that there is a whole other wonderful side to this journey and it made us want to get the word out and celebrate this amazing time of life, rather than wallowing in it’s challenges..
