Anyone else in early-mid thirties and think they’re starting perimenopause? • 09.08.10
Question by GBR: Anyone else in early-mid thirties and think they’re starting perimenopause?
I’m 33. I’ve always had very regular periods up until I got pregnant with our daughter (born last April). Since then I’ve been a hormonal mess. I got back on the pill to help even things out again, and have been having very irregular periods since giving birth. I have 2 periods a month – and this has been getting gradually worse (not better) over the past 4 months or so. I had an ultrasound to check for fibroids or polyps – none found. I just went today to get blood drawn to test for thyroid issues…
In talking with my Mom today, she told me that she started perimenopause in her early-mid thirties, and was completely done with no periods by the age of 42. The things that I described to her (night wakes with sweats; irregular periods after many years of regular ones; mood swings; etc) sounded very familiar.
I can’t help but think that I am much too young for this to be happening. I guess I was just looking for a little support from others in similar places in their lives.

I have not gone thru perimenopause yet but I have met some other women who have. I have the link to a site that may help you find even more information. If interested in checking it out please e-mail or IM me off site. Please put in the subject line “women’s health site”.
