As you transition into perimenopause, you may start to experience anovulatory cycles. This is a cycle which you do not ovulate. The issue with anovulatory cycles is that you will make little to no progesterone because ovulation is ultimately what stimulates the release of progesterone. If you make little to no progesterone, you may experience symptoms such as mood and sleep disturbances, hot flashes and night sweats, heart palpitations, migraines, heavy periods and periods with pain. And for some women, they may be more prone to autoimmune diseases such as Hashimoto's thyroid disease. Stay tuned for my coming reels, where I'll talk about some strategies to help with some of the above issues. Bye for now.
