I've found a holistic doctor so finally I hope they can tell me if this is peri or not..

Can anyone advise what bloods are order to diagnose meno please?

I have all the symptoms you guys describe however my periods are closer together and heavier. But night sweats , foggy, out of it feeling, gastric issues and bloating.

Thank you.

    Hi Ella

    you can have the bloods done but like my doctor said they are not the most accurate, I've had them and they came back normal, and the doctor said I am definately peri, periods getting closer together, night sweats and a lot of the other symptoms that are listed on here, my main one been health anxiety which started when all these strange feelings started happening to me. I'm 47, but the doctor just said it doesn't always show up until your well into it

    Ask your doctor to check your progesterone levels and estrogen levels these will tell if you are going through menopause 

    I am post menopause and i still experince stomach issues, foggy feeling, anxieties, mood swings, sleep problems, nose bleeds due to dryness, then i feel hot than cold 

    I also have a thyroid problem too
