What are your symptoms? Periomenopause can cause all sorts of things to occur. Need more info to give you an answer. I could write a book on this condition.....I entered into it in my late 40s and thougth it would take forever to get through it and then the REAL thing. I did make it and now I'm a much more stable and happy woman....for a while I thought I was going to 'hot=flash' myself into oblivion, mood swings, thinning hair......weight gain.....once bone-straight hair that turned curly. Lots of stuff to deal with. There are groups that might help you. Please add more info so someone can give you some good tips!

Each of us is different. I personally take a low dose of Prempro, watch what I eat, exercise regularly and do meditation. If your symtoms are causing your life to be miserable you need to speak with your doctor. Only he can recommend if hormone replacement is correct for you. You may have to try several things before you find what works for you. For some women herbal suppliments work. My symtoms were mainly sleeplessness and mood swings. I also get "cold" not hot flashes.
No one told us that this peri-menopause can go on for as long as 15 years. Ugh! I am 55 and not showing signs on going into full menopause yet. I will be the only one in a nursing home asking my grandson to run and pick up tampons for me! LOL
There are several good sites online where you can get good information.

Make sure your A/C is working really good. And go to your doctor and see if you need to get on some hormones.
