    Perimenopause can start in your mid-late 30's.. hot flashes etc.. fun stuff.. NOT. I was told that it is considered true menopause if you are ceasing to have a period. So if you haven't had one in 17 years and it's not due to a hysterectomy or anything, then you've already been going through it. And yes, to the poster who asked about flow, it can definitely mess with it! I am a lot like you. Some months are so heavy it's almost unbearable. I think it's important to remember that all our bodies have their own rhythm. The "typical" or "normal" time for stuff is just averages based on what information they complied. Oh, and who's down with extra weird hairs, or weight gain!!?? So much fun!! LOL

    I will be 41 on Sunday and in the past year the hot flashes, insomnia, night sweats, poor memory, and irregular periods have all started. Lately the insomnia has been the worst, hubby says he's ready to start drugging me at night just to see me get a full night's sleep.
