Perimenopause Series: Stage 1 – Early Perimenopause

Welcome back to our Perimenopause Series! This week, we’re focusing on Stage 1: Early Perimenopause—a time when your body starts sending subtle signals that hormonal changes are underway.

What’s Happening in Early Perimenopause?

This stage typically begins in your late 30s to early 40s. It’s marked by a decline in progesterone, as ovulation becomes less regular. This hormonal imbalance often results in estrogen dominance, which can lead to:

🤕 Premenstrual headaches

💔 Breast tenderness

🤷‍♀️ Mood swings & irritability

😣 Bloating

👶 Fertility challenges

Feeling Too Young for This? Think Again!

By your late 30s or early 40s, your ovaries may already function like they’re 70–75 years old. These changes may seem minor at first, but recognising them early allows you to take proactive steps to support your health.

Fun Fact: Did you know your ovaries age 2–2.5x faster than the rest of your body? That’s right—your ovaries are ahead of the curve!
