Exactly.

And

We see so many people coming in asking this.

Certainly we don't have an exact test that one can do for perimenopause.

And that means that people do need to look for signs and symptoms.

And the signs and symptoms of perimenopause are the same as menopause.

So you can get hot flashes, night sweats, sleep difficulties, mood changes, vaginal dryness, sexual difficulties, all the same things that people think about in menopause.

but it can happen in perimenopause.

And with that cycles tend to change.

So in the early part of perimenopause, you tend to see a shortening of the cycles.

So if someone had the perfect 28, 30 day cycle, it tends to shorten to about 24, 26 days.

And then in the latter part of perimenopause, people tend to skip menses.

And so those cycle changes are happening along with all of these symptoms.

Now there are hormone testing that people can do, but one test doesn't exactly give you the answer of like, how quick, how soon am I gonna hit menopause?

But doing multiple tests over time can give some sense along with all of those symptoms and changes in the cycle.

So there are blood tests that people can do, or there are companies that have put out products where you can pee on a stick successive times, and they give you different values that are a little bit more accurate in predicting time to menopause.

UVA is one.

And so I'll tell people if they want to do that, maybe that will give them some useful information.

But just knowing the symptoms along with cycle changes is enough to know that you're impairing menopause.

I'm so glad you asked that.
