Chills and perimenopause.
A shivery cold spell, often right after a hot flash, as your body overshoots while trying to pull its core temperature back down. The same temperature-regulation system drives both ends of it.

How Primrose & Eve tracks chills
Primrose & Eve lets you log chills in two taps, with a five-point severity scale and optional trigger tags — stress, caffeine, alcohol, poor sleep, exercise, heat, food. After three weeks of logging, the app's pattern engine identifies what is making your symptoms better or worse, using the same statistical tests epidemiologists use. Those findings go into a clinical briefing your doctor can read and act on in the time you actually have with them.

What is chills in perimenopause?
A shivery cold spell, often right after a hot flash, as your body overshoots while trying to pull its core temperature back down. The same temperature-regulation system drives both ends of it.
Is chills a recognized perimenopause symptom?
Yes. Chills is one of 34 named symptoms in the perimenopause transition. It is documented by The Menopause Society.
How can I track chills during perimenopause?
Primrose & Eve is designed for exactly this. Log chills in two taps each day, and after a few weeks the app identifies patterns: whether certain triggers make it worse, whether it clusters at a particular time of day, and how it is trending over time. Everything goes into a GP Report — a clinical briefing you can share with your doctor.
