OP, I really feel for you. Go & spk to your GP. My doctor did a blood test and she said I wasn’t peri-menopausal. Even though I am 49! My symptoms mimic menopause but unfortunately are due to my health condition.

Hi, I’ve attached a booklet with some information about menopause. It includes a couple of symptom checkers where you can tick off all you’re experiencing to discuss with your doctor and the best way forward in helping your symptoms.

If you’re on Facebook there is a helpful support group called Menopause Support Network.

For help with heavy bleeding, which I also experienced, you could consder a Mirena coil. It works both as contraception, and as part of systemic HRT
