It is the waxing and waning of oestrogen, combined with a decline in progesterone, that can contribute to symptoms of perimenopause as we transition towards menopause.
- Water retention
- Painful breasts
- Changes in mood (especially increased anxiety)
- Low blood sugar
- Headaches and migraines
- Irregular cycles
- Weight gain
…can all be signs that progesterone is low.
Changing hormones are part and parcel of this transition in life but there are things you can do to support your body for a smoother transition.
