Book a GP appointment, and go prepared
A GP can help work out what's behind your symptoms, and talk you through the options that fit you.
Why this?
The NHS advises contacting your GP if you think you have symptoms of menopause or perimenopause and want to know what your options are.

What to bring
- What you've noticed, and roughly when each thing started
- How it affects your work, sleep and relationships
- Anything you've already tried, and whether it helped
Questions you could ask
- Could my symptoms be linked to perimenopause?
- What are my options, and what are the pros and cons of each?
- If things don't change, what should I do next?
Describe the impact, not just the symptom. "I've woken at 3am most nights for two months" gives a clearer picture than "I'm not sleeping well".
What guidance says
NICE guidance says that if you're over 45, a GP can usually recognise perimenopause from your symptoms and changes to your periods, without a blood test. Knowing this can help you have a clearer conversation.
