Jen Hatmaker
I was so uninformed, unexposed, and uneducated about perimenopause, when I missed my period at age 48, I took a pregnancy test. I TOOK TWO.
I assumed that not only was I experiencing a geriatric pregnancy, but it was the source of my catastrophic brain fog and the culprit behind the rapidly shrinking capacity to handle, well, anything.
I learned I was in perimenopause not from my doctor, not from a health professional, but from the internet.
We deserve better, and I am so grateful to be a part of this vibrant conversation now.
