Yep, it's okay. But... can't guarantee you how often it's going to happen -
or not... If there's anything about peri, it's that it can be predictably
unpredictable, to put it mildly!

IME, there were semi-normal periods of time in peri, & also ones that were
anything but (this is taking into account that I began to count stuff that
in pre-peri times would be abnormal as being the new normal). And just when
I really couldn't hack the extremely annoying/uncomfortable months, some
sort of hormone shift would occur, & I'd feel human again. Actually,
although one prob. doesn't want to know... this was true for me in the
first years of post-meno, too - that's when my hot flashes & super-insomnia
kicked in, & my hormones had not hit any sort of real stability - I could
still feel them flying all over the place. (Which *may've* be partially due
to hitting post a little early at 46 - not sure, just my theory.)
