Part 1: A quick check
In the past 3 months, have you had any of these on a weekly or daily basis? Check all that apply.
Significant disruptions to your sleep (trouble falling asleep, waking 2+ times, early morning waking)
Noticeable changes to your menstrual cycle (heavier, lighter, irregular, more frequent)
Persistent fatigue or energy crashes that affect your daily life
Mood changes that feel different from your normal
Weight changes, or trouble managing weight despite consistent habits
New or worsening physical symptoms (joint pain, brain fog, hot flashes, digestive issues)

Part 2: Your archetype
Check a box only if it feels strong, consistent, and true of you right now (weekly or daily). Seeing more than one pattern is normal in perimenopause.
This quiz is for women still having periods. If you haven't had a period in 12+ months, you're past perimenopause, and your priorities look different.
Section A
Do your mood swings, sleep issues, or bloating get significantly worse in the week before your period?
Are your periods becoming heavier (flooding) OR coming more often (cycles shorter than 25 days)?
Do you get significant breast tenderness or swelling specifically before your bleed?
Do you feel puffy, bloated, or hold water weight mainly in the days before your period?
Section B
Do you wake up suddenly between 2:00 and 4:00 AM and struggle to fall back asleep?
Do you have strong cravings for salty or crunchy foods?
Do you hit a wall mid-afternoon (around 3 PM) but feel "tired but wired" at bedtime?
Is your weight gain concentrated almost entirely around your belly or middle?
Section C
Have you developed a new intolerance to alcohol or caffeine (worse hangovers, jitters after one cup)?
Do strong smells (perfume, the cleaning aisle) now trigger headaches or nausea?
Do you have itchy skin, adult acne, or unexplained rashes?
Do you wake up hot or sweaty at random times (not just before your period)?
Section D
Do you feel wiped out, flu-like, or exhausted for 24+ hours after a workout that used to be easy?
Do you get random muscle twitches (like eyelids), spasms, or cramps at rest?
Does physical exertion leave you with brain fog or mental fatigue?
Do you get frequent headaches or migraines?
Section E
Do you feel chronically cold (hands, feet, nose) even when others are comfortable?
Do you struggle with constipation or sluggish digestion despite eating fiber?
Do you feel a wave of deep fatigue or brain fog shortly after eating?
Is your weight gain stubborn and all over, with very slow results despite effort?
Section F
Do you notice significant vaginal dryness, or dry skin or eyes that lotion doesn't fix?
Do you feel flat, emotionally numb, or low, more than anxious or moody?
Are your periods getting much lighter, further apart, or have they stopped?
Do you have joint pain or stiffness that makes you feel older than you are?
