A member asked:

40 yrs old. got my period 4 times since july 4th. is this pre menopous?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: In true perimenopause your periods become further and further apart and usually lighter in amount. Although possible 40 is still a young age for this unless you have a family history of early menopause.
