Please Don't Mention Perimenopause Today

This week, we discuss the doctor’s office sign that stopped us in our tracks: “No HRT or perimenopause discussions during annual appointments.” What started as one frustrating moment turned into a bigger conversation about women’s healthcare, rushed appointments, hormonal symptoms, and why so many women feel dismissed in midlife. We unpack the realities doctors face, why perimenopause conversations are so complicated, and why women are turning to social media and each other for answers.
