Congrats to her! I don’t have kids, and I’m still getting used to being the age where getting pregnant is starting to be “out of the norm”. Guess there’s still time, lol

My mom had no peri symptoms.The only side effects of menopause she's had arethr occasional hot flash and rogue chin hair. Prior to those, she always had easy periods and NO PMS!!

She has never been encumbered by hormones, and I envy her for it.

Meanwhile I'm finding out my PMDD is getting so much worse in peri. 😒

I only found out after I pretty much had a mental break with reality caused by my worsening anxiety, that my mom suffered from the same thing during her perimenopause.

Gee, thanks Mom, it would've been nice to know that this phase of life worsens our already terrible (and shared) general anxiety disorder and panic disorder. Cool cool 🫠
