Advice needed / peri menopause- What to say to GP to try HRT

I am almost certain I’m starting peri-menopause and early (I’m 39).

For around a year, after my last DC turned about 6 months, I’ve experienced night sweats, fatigue, unexplained weight gain around the middle (after initially losing most of the baby weight), periods so irregular it’s a joke, vaginal dryness, loss of libido, forgetful…

I have been to the GP numerous times and it’s all been put down to things settling down after birth. Which is fair enough and I can see there are some similarities. However, baby is now almost 1.5 years old and this is getting ridiculous and affecting my quality of life and relationship.

I’ve read on MN that the NICE guidelines state you should be offered HRT with certain symptoms - could someone explain this to me and how I need to approach this (again) with the GP to get some action? TIA
