Ok, almost 50 and last period almost 2 yrs ago. Lots of symptoms over last few years but nothing too awful for too long.

I’ve been taking them for a couple of weeks and just wondering when and if I should expect to notice a difference. I currently suffer hot flashes several times a night, some insomnia and my libido has definitely done a runner lately. I have had episodes of anxiety and low mood but am fine with that at the moment.
