Is This Perimenopause… or Just Me?

Understanding the Early Signs & Symptoms Women Over 40 Need to Know

Brain fog. Bloating. Sudden rage. Crying for no reason.
Waking up at 2am with your heart racing.
Zero libido. And belly fat that laughs in the face of your workouts.
Sound familiar?

If you're over 40 and wondering, “What the hell is wrong with me?” — you're not alone. And you're definitely not broken.

What you might be experiencing is perimenopause — the hormonal transition leading up to menopause. And here's the kicker:
There are over 50 different symptoms of perimenopause... and most women have no idea they're connected.

Why Perimenopause Often Goes Unnoticed

Perimenopause doesn't show up with a neon sign or a sudden change. Instead, it creeps in slowly — often misdiagnosed as stress, depression, or “just getting older.”

Take Claire, 42. For over a year, she felt off.
Tired. Irritable. Snapping at her kids. Wide awake at 3am.
Her doctor said it was stress. Google told her it might be depression.

What no one told her?
This was classic perimenopause. And she wasn't crazy — her hormones were shifting, and her body was asking for support.

The Most Common (But Often Missed) Symptoms of Perimenopause

Here are some early warning signs to look for:

• Irregular periods – longer, shorter, heavier, lighter, or totally unpredictable

• Sleep disruption – wired but tired, night sweats, or sudden 2am panic wakeups

• Mood changes – anxiety, rage, or sadness that seems to come from nowhere

• Brain fog – forgetting words or losing your train of thought mid-sentence

• Physical shifts – stubborn belly fat, joint pain, palpitations, low libido, headaches

These symptoms aren’t “just aging.” And they’re definitely not a personal failure.
They’re signals — and ignoring them can quietly impact your heart, bones, mood, energy, and long-term health.

Why Tracking Symptoms Changes Everything

When you start tracking your symptoms, everything changes.
You stop guessing. You start seeing patterns.
You connect the dots — and gain clarity without relying on Google rabbit holes or dismissive doctor visits.

This is exactly why I created the Perimenopause Symptom Tracker — a simple tool to help women understand what’s going on inside their bodies.

You’re Not Alone — And You’re Not Broken

I’m Lucy Round — and I help women over 40 get to the root of their perimenopause symptoms, so they can feel like themselves again.
No confusion. No overwhelm. No more guessing.

Here’s the approach I use with my clients:

1. Spot the signals

2. Track the patterns

3. Use data — not Google — to make confident decisions

Society tells us menopause is for “old ladies.”
But the truth? Hormonal shifts start far earlier than most of us were ever told.

So if you're feeling off, this is your sign: You're not crazy. You're in transition.
And with the right support, it doesn’t have to feel like chaos.
