Oh no, you're not too young for perimenopause.....sorry for that!! It can start in your mid to late 30's, although I'm sure many women are unaware. I was deep in the throes of perimenopause (and didn't know it at the time) when I was about 37. I'm 43 now and thankful that we can take hormones, or I'd most likely never make it to menopause. ;) I'm sure your mom had symptoms long before she was 55 but maybe didn't realize what they meant.
Perimenopausal symptoms include irregular menstrual cycle, heavy periods, hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes, decreasing fertility, changing cholesterol levels, and more. Because of your age and the fact that you're going off the pill --- that's why I asked if you were going to watch out for any other body changes.
