Welcome to EmpowHER and thanks for your question. If you’re over 35 you may be in perimenopause, the months or years of hormonal transition that lead up to menopause. Menopause occurs when it has been 12 consecutive months since your last period, but it’s rare for women to menstruate regularly until their periods suddenly stop. More commonly, women notice changes to their cycles five, ten or even fifteen years prior to reaching menopause.
