Have been struggling to remember words for ages now. This is sometimes worse than other times, but basically I have to stop mid sentence to try to remember the word I’m looking for and other people say the words for me.

Periods getting slightly irregular.

Fatigue.

Irritated nether regions feels a bit like thrush.

Probably more but can’t think right now...

Im only 41!!

Possibly. I'm going through the same thing at 44 and am waiting for doc callback.

Fatigue and headaches. On combined pill but periods getting lighter and lighter during each break.

Other symptoms are:
Itchy scalp
Dry and brittle nails
Low energy
Fuzzy brain

I take Menopace and magnesium and I exercise when I can which helps. I try to get as much sleep as possible (sometimes hard with 2 young DC!)

See what the docs say?

I’m defo in mine and I’m 44. Total brain fog and can’t sleep, it’s crap.

Yes those were my symptoms at your age.

I'm now just turned 45 and started HRT when I was still 44.

Still have brain fog but night sweats almost gone and I sleep so well, I sleep better than at any time since I had my first child 15 yrs ago.
