I am a 31 year old woman with 2 children. I have noticed some changes going on with myself and i am wondering if i may be going through perimenopause.
I have noticed that on several occasions, i would get heat flashes, usually in the early morning hours about a week or so before my period . They don't last very long just a few minutes. My periods the last few cycles have also been a bit weird as in i would bleed normally for the first day or two and then it would be scant or spotty after. I usually mensturate for 7 days and now it has only been about 5-6 days. My cycle has also became somewhat shorter . i usually get my period every 28-30 days and now the last 2 cycles have been approximately 21- 23 days.. I should also mention that my libido is not as it usually is. could this be perimenopause at my age?

Hi db981,
Welcome to EmpowHER. Women start perimenopause at different ages. In your 40s, or even as early as your 30s, your may start noticing the signs. Your periods may become irregular — longer, shorter, heavier or lighter, sometimes more and sometimes less than 28 days apart. You might need to see a doctor, just to confirm if the symptoms are due to peri menopause. Other conditions, can also cause changes in a woman's cycle. Such as stress, hormonal imbalance, uterine cysts and polyps, fibroids and many other.
Best,
Daisy
