Thanks for sharing that with me. From what I've read, estrogen and progesterone can still fluctuate quite a bit during menopause, and those hormonal changes can definitely trigger seizures.
Have you had a chance to discuss this with your neurologist? It might be worth exploring whether hormonal therapy could help reduce seizures in your situation. The hormonal therapy that my neurologist and gynecologist recommended together has made a real difference in my seizure control, though I'm still in perimenopause.

Do you mind me asking what hormonal therapy they recommended?
