WORST. PERIODS. EVER? Welcome to perimenopause, the hormonal roller coaster ride on the way to menopause. When your estrogen outpaces your progesterone, your uterine lining builds, resulting in heavier bleeding. Low estrogen levels can produce lighter bleeding but shorter cycles (say, every 2 or 3 weeks).

One treatment Dr Sharon Malone recommends for perimenopausal women is a low dose 24-day birth control pill, which can help regulate your hormone levels and also provide contraception, still very important at this phase! Some women prefer to start on an estrogen patch if their symptoms are severe.
