Cycle changes are often the first sign of perimenopause. Around 90% of women experience abnormal uterine bleeding in this phase.

Psychological symptoms often peak in early perimenopause (ages 41–45), with up to a 4× risk of mood disorders.

Vasomotor symptoms peak later (ages 51–55) but can appear earlier in perimenopause.
