The Perimenopause Survival Guide: Your First Year of Symptoms

Your first year of perimenopause can feel like someone swapped your hormones out overnight. At Be. Women’s Health in Frisco, TX, we help you navigate the transition with clarity and confidence.

Top symptoms women notice:

• Irregular periods
• Anxiety or irritability
• Hot flashes
• Sleep problems
• Brain fog
• Weight changes
• Mood swings
• Breast tenderness
• Vaginal dryness

Your first-year survival plan:

1. Track your cycles
Even if they’re irregular, patterns emerge.

2. Support your hormones
Nutrition, supplements, and sleep all create stability.

3. Talk about it
You’re not alone — millions of women experience this.

4. Request labs if something feels off
Thyroid, iron, and glucose levels all matter.

5. Consider treatment early
Hormones, SSRIs, sleep support, and non-hormonal options help fast.

Perimenopause is a transition — not a decline. You can feel good again.
