Common questions
What is the first sign of perimenopause?
Dr. Brighten says it is not hot flashes or irregular periods. Progesterone is the first hormone to decline, so worsening PMS, irritability, breast tenderness and waking at night or very early in the days before your period can be the earliest signs, sometimes from age 35.
