I’m 53, peri-menopausal - periods erratic but still coming for at least three years now. No hot flushes, sleep issues etc so have not been in a hurry to go down the HRT route.
However, my hair is thinning at the temples, and generally feels thinner; my eyebrows are patchy
and now I notice that my hands and arms are almost completely hairless. Also bald patch in pubic hair. Legs still have some hair, for the moment anyway, but thinning I’d say.

I had blood tests recently - told over the phone that all are normal. I am waiting for an appointment to see GP again for follow up.

I am guessing I’m going to be told it’s all peri-menopause/hormonal… but would like to know if anyone else has had this and if HRT helped at all?

I just checked my arms and I'm the same, same thin hair, bald pubes etc

Assume just peri, I'm going to take iron to try and boost levels
