Can you be perimenopausal and still have regular periods?
Posted , 8 users are following.
I have had all kinds of different symptoms these past 4 years-anxiety, night sweats, moods swings, sugar cravings. I've had 2 test to see if i am in menopause and they both came back negative. So I want know if I can be still be perimenopausal in spite of the negative results, and in spite of still having regular periods.
Thank you,

sounds like peri... but regular periods dont..
the blood test almost always comes back normal until you have only a few periods a year... the FSH blood test is based on low hormone levels and if your still having regular periods they will not be in the low zone just yet.. my first one came back normal but doc said i was peri and i had all the symptoms like you too, particularly night sweats ... the FSH does the blood test for that moment, so as your hormones are erractic at this time, the following week the same test could be different result again.. i craved sweet things, chocolate and still do 10 years in peri.. luckily I am still very slim so it doesnt affect my weight.... i have to have choc everyday 😮

What tests did they run to diagnose you? I still have regular periods too and no one doctor has officially diagnosed me as being peri. One doctor said my symptoms sounded like it. All the other doctors insisted that I was not in peri because I was still seeing my periods and because my blood work always comes back normal.
