Before the Change

Perimenopause often goes unrecognized for years — irregular cycles, disrupted sleep, shifting moods that seem to have no clear cause. By the time many people understand what they are experiencing, they have already spent a long time wondering. These writers name it, and describe what it took to navigate.

Inside this volume

Fifty accounts follow the perimenopause journey from first signs through the unpredictable middle period and into menopause — including the search for accurate information, decisions about lifestyle changes and medical support, and the emotional work of accepting a body in transition.

Who it's for

For those wondering whether what they're experiencing might be perimenopause, those already in the thick of it, and partners and families who want to understand the territory more clearly.
