Myth: Menopausal symptoms don't start until your periods stop.
Perimenopausal hormone changes can begin as early as the late 30s or early 40s. Many perimenopausal women begin to experience symptoms like night sweats, hot flashes, insomnia, anxiety, mood swings, headaches, changes in sex drive (libido) and changes in the menstrual cycle long before their periods stop. Many of these symptoms are due to an imbalance of estrogen and progesterone in the body, which occurs as ovulation becomes irregular in the perimenopausal period.
