A Little Clarity for Your Next Step

Perimenopause is the transition leading up to menopause, when hormone levels begin to fluctuate. You may notice changes in your periods, sleep, mood, or other symptoms. Menopause is typically identified after 12 consecutive months without a menstrual period, when there is no other explanation. Your age, symptoms, menstrual history, and overall health can help guide the evaluation.

Yes! You can experience symptoms associated with perimenopause even while your periods remain regular. Changes in sleep, mood, temperature regulation, or concentration may appear before noticeable changes in your menstrual cycle. Because these symptoms can have other causes, a thoughtful medical evaluation is important.

No. Your consultation is an opportunity to discuss your symptoms, health history, concerns, and preferences. Hormone therapy may be one topic of conversation, but treatment decisions are individualized. Our focus is helping you understand your options, including their potential benefits, risks, and limitations.

We prioritize FDA-approved medications when hormone therapy is appropriate. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved and are not routinely offered at Beloved. Limited exceptions may be considered when an appropriate FDA-approved option is unavailable, subject to clinical evaluation and applicable prescribing requirements.

No. Beloved Menopause does not prescribe or provide implanted hormone pellets. We focus on evaluating appropriate medication options and making individualized decisions based on your medical history, needs, and preferences.

Testosterone may be considered in certain circumstances following an individualized medical evaluation. It is not appropriate for everyone, and prescribing depends on clinical indications, safety considerations, and applicable requirements. Any potential use would involve a discussion of the available evidence, risks, and monitoring needs. Testosterone is not FDA-approved specifically for use in women in the United States.

After your initial consultation, we'll discuss whether additional appointments may be appropriate for your needs. Beloved offers an Ongoing Partnership membership for patients who would like continued medical visits. The membership is $99 per month and includes one 30-minute video appointment per paid month. Unused appointments roll over, and membership terms apply.
