    Symptoms include irregular / missed periods, maybe increasingly heavy, especially after a missed one. Additional bodily hair growth, including odd chin hairs etc. Hot flushes / sweating, eg. when coming from the cold into a warm room as the hypothalmus is not working as well. Mood swings, including depression and anger / quick temper. Fluid retention, itchy skin …. I’m in the same boat as you – trying to remember there’s gotta be something to look forward to!

    You periods of course will be different, HOT HOT flashes that are not flashes at all but could last for days. Mood swings, depression. I went through it all years after I had a hysterectomy. Good luck
