    Dr. Julia Schlam Edelman answered:
    Wide fluctuations in estrogen and progesterone levels occur during the menstrual cycles of perimenopausal women in their late thirties, forties, and early to mid-fifties. When postmenopause is established, there is a low steady level of estradiol, converted in the body’s fatty tissue. Most women find the low steady level of estradiol easier to tolerate.
