Have you noticed that your body and mood have been changing lately? Perhaps you are sleeping differently, feel more easily thrown off balance, or notice that your energy levels aren't always the same.
This may have to do with hormonal changes associated with (pre)menopause – the transitional period during which your hormones slowly begin to fluctuate.
This short perimenopause test helps you gain insight into the signs associated with perimenopause.
Take the perimenopause test
Answer honestly and count how many times you say YES 👇
1️⃣ Have you been waking up more often at night lately, or are you wide awake around 3 a.m.?
2️⃣ Has your cycle become shorter, longer, or more irregular than before?
3️⃣ Do you often experience mood swings, or do you feel gloomy or angry without a clear reason?
4️⃣ Do you notice that your skin or hair is changing (drier, thinner, wrinkles, increased hair loss)?
5️⃣ Do you often experience brain fog or forget simple things (“where are my keys?”)?
6️⃣ Do you suddenly get a hot flash or do you feel your body temperature changing rapidly?
7️⃣ Do you feel more easily irritated or do you notice that your self-confidence is shaky?
8️⃣ Do you have new physical discomforts such as sensitive breasts, a tense stomach, or stiffer joints?
9️⃣ Does your recovery take longer after exercising or a busy day than before?
🔟 Do you sometimes feel like your body is no longer “cooperating” as you are used to (e.g. weight or energy)?

1️⃣2️⃣ Does it seem like your emotions are bigger than the situation or that you cry more easily?
