Menopause: What are good resources?

I’m wondering if I’m starting the menopause process, or at least perimenopause. It’s hard to tell! My periods are coming more frequently, and I’m feeling a fluttering in my reproductive organs. It’s the same fluttering I felt the three times I got pregnant. (Point of clarification: One pregnancy resulted in miscarriage.)

I have no idea what to expect!

Stress definitely has an impact on my cycles. And I am most certainly stressed right now! This year hasn’t been easy between COVID and the snowpocalypse and other unexpected tragedies. But stress usually makes my cycles farther apart, not closer together.

I’m realizing I need to start learning about what to expect. I like to face each new stage in life with intention and purpose. First comes loves. Then comes marriage. Then comes a baby in the baby carriage. Where is the mention of menopause?

I decided to send out a survey to several women who are older than I am. (I just turned 43). If you want to fill it out, please do so!

My quick search is revealing that there isn’t a ton of quality content about menopause. Do you know of good resources? Good books? Blogs? Podcasts?

Thank you in advance for any advice you have!
