Thanks yeah doctors don’t seem to mention it, I think I only realised about it from reading online, if it hadn’t been for that I wouldn’t have known. I think it’s the reason my migraines got worse too.
You’re right it isn’t at all black and white. At least in pregnancy you know what’s coming, it’s pretty much a predictable experience with a set time scale. Peri menopause seems like it’s undefined, I’m lucky to have an older sister so I’m using her experience as a guide - in that case it could be years yet. I’m so done with this!
