    What Are Your Perimenopausal Symptoms Saying?

    Episode 6 Description What Are Your Perimenopausal Symptoms Saying? You’ve been tracking your symptoms; but what do you do with all that information? In this episode of HerVitalPause, Chinémé Love Ajah explores how the signs and symptoms you experience during perimenopause can begin to tell a larger story when you look at them together rather than in isolation. We talk about recognizing changes, clusters, and patterns; why perimenopause may be very noticeable for some women and relatively quiet for others; and why symptoms provide valuable information without necessarily providing a diagnosis. You’ll also learn why bringing the story of your symptoms to your healthcare provider can lead to a more meaningful conversation about your health—and why you don’t have to wait until menopause to ask about treatment or symptom-management options. In this episode: * Symptoms as signs and signals * Looking for clusters and patterns over time * Why perimenopause can sometimes be relatively quiet * Why symptoms shouldn’t be used to self-diagnose * Making sense of hormone testing during perimenopause * Preparing for a productive conversation with your healthcare provider * Knowing that help and treatment options may be available during perimenopause The takeaway: Pay attention to your body—not with fear or obsession, but with awareness. Listen to the story your symptoms may be telling, and use that information to become an informed participant in your healthcare. Next episode: When Is It Menopause? Understanding the Menopause Transition

I walk you through the early and late phases of perimenopause, helping you understand what’s happening in your body in a way that is clear, relatable, and not overwhelming. Perimenopause is not a disease—it is a natural physiological transition, even though it may not always feel that way. In this episode, we explore: * The difference between early and late perimenopause * Why your cycle may start to shift or become unpredictable * Common symptoms that are often dismissed or misunderstood * Why this season can feel confusing—but is actually deeply meaningful ✨ And we introduce something special—the “*Menopause Moments*” Those real, everyday experiences that make you pause and say, “Wait… what just happened?” Because sometimes, awareness begins with simply recognizing the moment.
