My period is LOOMING today. Achy breasts, irritable, tired, constant hunger, gas that can clear rooms. Fuck it.
So far the hardest perimenopause symptoms for me have been the build up to starting a period. I used to feel like this for one day, wake up the next day feeling energized and skinny and then BAM, period.
Now this lead-up can drag on for a while.
I’m going to tackle this scientifically.
In 2026 I’m writing a few sentences in my habit tracking planner about how I feel in the morning and how I feel at night. So far the trend is I always feel better at night. It’s hard to get motivated with two achy water balloons strapped to your chest.
I haven’t had a period in 2026 but I printed out some hormone tracking charts that show highs and lows of sex hormone levels at different times in my cycle. Then I can match my moods to those swings and figure out which hormone might be most beneficial for me to add in to a hormone routine and which to avoid.
If it sounds complex it is, but I have always struggled with moods and hormones and I’m a scientist. I will crack this shit.
This post is dedicated to a certain @Puzzled friend who I admire for always telling it like it is. We are all in this together.

I wasn’t fishing for compliments. I cannot really say what drove my impulsive thinking. I’ve been deleting many accounts over the last 4 years or so. I think the reason went into some farther away brain region for now.
