The Periods You Get During Perimenopause Are A Whole Different Ball Game

Perimenopause is a wild ride, or at least that's the vibe I'm getting these days. Today, Katie Bingham-Smith is talking about the way her periods (which were never easy!) changed as she reached this stage of life: "Every month, I must remind myself that these incredibly annoying symptoms will pass, and I just have to do my best to get through it.

If you're going through the same thing, read it and relate. If you're not there yet, you'll want to know what's coming!
