🌿 2-minute perimenopause check

Perimenopause, or just a rough month?

Tick what you've noticed lately. Get your symptoms grouped and a short note you can read out at your next appointment.

Why write it down? The NHS says there's no routine test for perimenopause: a doctor may go by your age and your symptoms. Appointments are short, and symptoms you don't write down are easy to forget in the room. This checklist turns "I just don't feel like me" into specifics.

Talk to a doctor soon if you're under 45 and noticing these changes, if you bleed after 12 months with no period, if periods become very heavy or come very close together, or if a fast or pounding heartbeat worries you. This page is general information, not medical advice.

Questions people ask

Is there a test for perimenopause?

The NHS says there's no routine test for perimenopause and menopause. A doctor may diagnose it based on your age and symptoms, which is why a clear list helps.

Can this checklist tell me if I'm in perimenopause?

No. It can't diagnose anything, and many of these symptoms have other causes, such as thyroid problems, low iron or stress. It helps you describe what you've noticed so you can talk it through with a doctor or nurse.

What are common perimenopause symptoms?

Commonly reported ones include changes to periods, hot flushes, night sweats, poor sleep, low mood or anxiety, brain fog, joint aches, palpitations, vaginal dryness and lower sex drive. Everyone is different, and you may have several or none.
