While some people refer to being ‘in menopause', this can be quite confusing as sometimes they can mean the time leading up to their last period (i.e., the ‘perimenopause’) or other times they can mean after they haven’t had a period in over a year (i.e., ‘postmenopause’).
On top, ‘menopause’ actually only refers to the day marking 12 months since your final period. This means menopause technically only lasts for a single day between the late perimenopause and postmenopause stages.
