The #1 sign of perimenopause is irregular periods. Menopause is 12 months without a period and can happen anytime after age 40 (average is 51). This is very typical, and as long as you know you are not pregnant it is not worrisome. Perimenopause can have other symptoms too, but if you are otherwise doing well/feeling well there is no need feel urgent about addressing this. Keep track of your periods. 90% of women will have 4-8 years of menstrual cycle irregularity before they become menopausal. Time will tell!
