Itā€™s #WorldMenopauseDay and Iā€™m a very pissed off menopausal person with some thoughts.

Itā€™s #WorldMenopauseDay.

Itā€™s been menopause every day in my body for several yrs now.

Perimenopauseā€”the stage leading up to the cessation of the menstrual cycleā€”has been kicking my fucking ass.

So while Iā€™m not a fan of ā€œdays,ā€ Iā€™m glad to see more conversation on menopause
Menopause is the hardest thing that has ever happened to me. And itā€™s the best thing Iā€™ve ever gone through.Ā

The menopausal transition can be gradual, usually beginning with changes in the menstrual cycle.
