I believe I am perimenopausal, as well, and I have been having odd and heavier periods for about a year now. And I'm just 36, but I started my period younger than I think most girls do and have never had kids. The thing that sucks for me is they are heavier but they're still lasting 7 days, basically.

I've honestly been ready for menopause the second I started having periods...

Oh, and progesterone...I don't know if anyone else here who has been using any of those creams, supplements or anything has gotten some info about it to the contrary...but I did look into it several months ago and believe I saw that it can increase your risk of cancer. That made me leave it and just deal with what I'm dealing with because a good percentage of people in my family have died from cancer, so I'm already at risk. Anyone, feel free to clarify for me/us on any risks with progesterone.
