confused about perimenopause and bloodwork
Posted , 6 users are following.
I would have swore that I had perimenopause...have all the symptoms. However, I got my bloodwork done and it was all normal with my hormones. Could I have symptoms with my bloodwork being normal???

yes you could still be in peri, i have mentioned a few times on here, that FSH blood tests are never accurate in early peri, until periods have declined to approx 3 - 4 per year, as hormones are too erractic in early peri..
( happened to me early on and Doc said i was still perimeno, then i used the home menopause testers after that as hormones are up and down too much in early peri to give an accurate result, i monitored it myself at different times)
I dont know why this is not explained by the medical profession, seems they really dont care about explaining anything..
hope that helps

If no period for 18 months and your post meno then fsh test should be post meno.
its usually early peri while periods are still often when FSH test comes back normal in general.
Have you had an ultra sound by a Gyno to check ovary activity and whether they are non functioning post meno ?
I had this done in august
