Perimenopause PMS
During perimenopause does our PMS declined in a nice neat regular fashion?
Just as estrogen may not decline in a nice, neat, uniform fashion, neither may our PMS. In Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS): Does PMS Change With Age? the Office on Womenâs Health, United States Department of Health and Human Services, Womenshealth.gov explain:

You may get the same mood changes, or they may get worse.
PMS stops after menopause when you no longer get a periodâ.
