gardengirl Apr 2021 4:50pm, 6 Apr 2021 246 posts	0 gardengirl Going to start doing some more reading on perimenopause, which is where I think I am. Cycle used to be like clockwork but is now pretty unpredictable, from 2 1/2 weeks (aargh) to 6 weeks. Also some night sweats on an erratic basis and poorer sleep and generally having a shorter fuse than I’ve ever had before! Do these ring a bell with other people? Would love to know!

quimby Apr 2021 9:21pm, 6 Apr 2021 4,746 posts	0 quimby I find around 3am is my hairiest time My armpits are still saving me a fortune on Gillette Venus. My legs, however, have developed a new lease of life, and I swear my feet never used to be that hairy. I bought a "cool blanket" from Amazon recently - haven't had chance to use it yet as hasn't really been warm enough at night, I am usually OK with 5 mins of duvet discard, then back on, at this time of year. I have downloaded the Liz Earle book. I really must read at least one of my menopause books; my mum had osteoporosis and I really need to consider the options with HRT.
Turtlemama Apr 2021 9:58pm, 6 Apr 2021 1,492 posts	0 Turtlemama Gardengirl that's me to a tee. Cycles from 16-60 days, totally unpredictable. Plus feeling I need a wee all night, total exhaustion and unexplained weight gain. All apparently normal but very annoying!
