RespectWomen posted... I guess its possible, but the recent bloodwork didnt really show anything that would cause this.
If a doctor claimed they would see indications of perimenopause via bloodwork, then they are full of shit. A womans hormone levels vary during a month so they cant tell you jack based on what they are at a point in time.
Perimenopause is diagnosed by whether you are experiencing a number of the symptoms. The list of symptoms are:
- Hot flashes and night sweats, or vasomotor symptoms (VMS)
- Breast tenderness
- Worse premenstrual symptoms
- Lower sex drive
- Fatigue
- Irregular periods (also called perimenopause periods)
- Vaginal dryness or discomfort during sex
- Leaking pee when you cough or sneeze
- Having an urgent need to pee more frequently
- Mood swings
- Trouble sleeping
- Short-term memory problems
- Trouble concentrating
