Many women think oestrogen simply drops during perimenopause — but the reality is more complex.
During perimenopause, oestrogen levels fluctuate unpredictably. Some months they may be higher than before, and other months lower. These swings can cause:
• Hot flushes and night sweats
• Mood changes and anxiety
• Irregular periods
• Brain fog or memory lapses
• Fatigue
It’s not a steady decline — it’s more like a rollercoaster. And because everyone’s hormone journey is unique, symptoms can vary widely, even between women of the same age.
Understanding this helps explain why:
Symptoms can feel unpredictable
Blood tests can come back “normal”
Some months feel fine, others much worse
💡 You’re not imagining it. Your body is responding to real hormonal changes — even if tests don’t show the full picture.
