Early Menopause
FMP before age 45
Late Menopause
FMP after age 54

- All cause mortality
- Coronary heart disease
- CVD
- Menopause symptoms
- Worsening mood symptoms
- Higher incidence of Parkinson Disease

- Associated with cognitive impairment
Early Menopause Transition (-2)
7 or more days persistent difference in cycle length from
previous normal cycle
- Results of increased follicular aging and depletion
- Inhibin B decreases
- FSH increases (Variable)
LOOP Cycles
Explains elevation of Estradiol in perimenopause
- Rising FSH levels recruit 2nd follicle during luteal phase which
leads to overproduction of Estradiol
- This causes menstrual changes in future cycles
Decreased AMH in Early Menopause Transition
More frequent anovulatory cycles

Decreased Inhibin B in Early Menopause Transition
- Skipped menstrual cycles
- Mastalgia
- Migraine
- Menorrhagia (with LOOP cycles)
- Endometrial Hyperplasia
Late Menopause Transition (-1)
60 or more days of amenorrhea for women aged 45 years or

STRAW Stage where FSH > 25

- VMS
- Sleep disturbance
- Changes in weight distribution
- Increased variability in cycle length
Decreased Inhibin B in Late Menopause Transition
- Mood changes
- Cognitive complaints
- Changes in sexual functioning
- Increased prevalence of anovulation
