        Menopause or perimenopause? Menopause is just the day that a woman hasn’t had a period for 365 days. After that day, they’re post menopause. Leading up to menopause is called perimenopause and it can last up to 10 years and start for some women in their late 30s. I hope I’m not coming off as rude, I just like to try and educate people about this sort of thing because for much too long women have not openly talked about perimenopause/menopause and us elder millennials and Gen xers currently going through it are no longer staying silent about it as our mothers and grandmother’s did.
