Perimenopause fundamentally changes your menstrual cycle. Periods may come closer together or further apart, become heavier or lighter, or become entirely unpredictable. The SWAN (Study of Women's Health Across the Nation) study identified cycle variability of 7 or more days as a key early marker of perimenopause.

Periods typically become irregular - closer together, further apart, heavier, lighter, or unpredictable. The SWAN study found 7+ day cycle variability is a key perimenopause marker.
