Menopause 101
A simple guide to perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause
WHAT IS MENOPAUSE?
Menopause is part of a broader transition that unfolds over time. From perimenopause through menopause and into postmenopause, your body can experience changes that affect your cycle, sleep, mood, energy, sexual health and more.
Understanding the stages can help you make sense of what’s changing, ask better questions and find the support that feels right for you.

THE TRANSITION BEGINS
Perimenopause is the time leading up to menopause, when hormone levels can fluctuate and menstrual cycles may begin to change.
Changes can affect periods, sleep, mood, temperature regulation, sexual health and more. The timing and experience are different for everyone.

A POINT IN TIME
Menopause is reached after 12 consecutive months without a menstrual period.
Although we often talk about “going through menopause,” menopause itself is a point in time. The years of change around it can begin well before the final period and continue afterward.

THE YEARS THAT FOLLOW
Postmenopause begins after menopause and continues for the rest of your life.
Some symptoms may improve, while others can continue or change over time. This stage is also an important time to think about your ongoing health and wellbeing.
