 I didn't even know there was such a thing as peri menopause until many years after I was already in it! My doctor never mentioned it.
It varies among women, lasting anywhere from 5-15 years from what I've heard! Genetics play a role also.
I hear you on the periods. Men don't go through anything close to that! Once a month for at least 40 years, give or take a few years. It's a lot of trouble with its own symptoms. And the money we spend on the products that are necessary, not a luxury!
Then there's the peri stage, the menopause, then post menopause. And even with all those, the symptoms vary woman to woman. I wish it were more black and white!
The lighter periods could be a sign, but I don't know.  I hope so.
