Perimenopause
The hormonal transition years before menopause — irregular cycles, sleep disruption, mood changes, and hot flashes managed with compounded bioidentical hormone support.
About Perimenopause
Perimenopause is the transition phase before menopause, when estrogen and progesterone levels begin to fluctuate while cycles continue. Symptoms often start years before periods stop: heavier or irregular cycles, disrupted sleep, night sweats, mood swings, brain fog, and worsening PMS. Because hormone levels swing rather than simply decline, perimenopausal treatment is often different from standard menopausal HRT — many prescribers start with cyclic micronized progesterone for sleep and cycle symptoms, adding low-dose estradiol or a compounded blend like Biest only when needed. Compounding pharmacies prepare progesterone capsules and creams, estradiol and multi-estrogen preparations, and low-dose testosterone in prescriber-specified strengths that can be titrated as hormone levels shift through the transition.
