“There is no test that exists today that can diagnose perimenopause. In some situations, an FSH can be helpful but hormones are fluctuating wildly in this period and therefore, your FSH might look normal one day and then totally different the next."
Elektra's Founding NP Jackie Giannelli weighs in on whether bloodwork can confirm if you're in perimenopause (the short answer: no) and whether pregnancy is possible during these years (the short answer: yes).

“We must collaborate with all stakeholders – patients, health plans, providers – to better address patients’ symptoms, risk of chronic conditions, and limited access to informed care."

“Menopause costs are hiding in plain sight, and engaging women around their menopausal health has far-reaching implications. With proper menopause care, we can engage women around broader preventative health and chronic conditions.”

Here at Elektra Health, we won’t stop until there’s more effective, coordinated treatment to address the full spectrum of women’s health. Who’s with us?
In case you missed it: Oprah Winfrey got candid earlier this week about her early experience with heart palpitations…and the fact that even after consulting five (five!) doctors, not one made the connection that this symptom was the result of perimenopause.
It’s a version of a story we hear all too often. With only 20% of OB/GYNs trained in menopause, many women find themselves seeking out multiple providers (neurology, cardiology, psychiatry, etc) who ultimately miss the root cause: menopause.
