Sorry to read you are going through this too BrokeTech, that seems really young for perimenopause, I was told that the younger you are when you start your periods the later they will go on for but no idea if that's true (source: school nurse). Have you chatted to your GP about it?
Thanks. I believe my mother told me the same thing you'd heard, but I have recently found some articles that say the exact opposite. Some also mention never having given birth as a cause for early menopause and say it increases the odds combined with an early period. I turned 10 and then 3 months later I got my period. I also read you can be in perimenopause for 10 years.

I have not seen a doctor about this yet, but my mother has started suggesting I do so. I have at least three things I should see a doctor for right now, lol.
