One of the earliest signs of perimenopause is irregular periods. Whether they last longer, appear more or less frequently or are heavier or lighter, we can help you understand your irregular periods.

As women transition into perimenopause, the ovaries fail to release an egg. When that happens, there is no progesterone to stabilize the lining of the uterus. The uterine lining keeps building irregularly and eventually will start to bleed a little here and a little there. Often, a month or two later when your cycle works correctly and an egg is released, you may experience a heavy period. Heavy periods are a common symptom in perimenopause for this reason.
Sometimes a change in bleeding patterns (whether it be time in between or heaviness of flow) can be a sign of something more serious, so a visit with your OB/GYN is recommended.
Every woman's experience of menopause is as unique as she is. We'll first review your medical history, family history, and gynecological history prior to your telemedicine visit.
During the video visit, you'll share your experience with menopause, starting with your quality of life and other symptoms you're experiencing (like joint pain and anxiety).
