Why track perimenopause symptoms?

Perimenopause symptoms come and go, which makes them hard to describe in a ten-minute appointment. A good week can hide a terrible month. Two or three months of simple notes show the pattern: how often hot flashes happen, how many times you wake at night, and how your cycle is changing. That gives you and your doctor something concrete to work with.

What changes once the numbers are on one page

  • A 31-day log for periods, hot flashes, night sweats, sleep, mood and brain fog
  • Quick 0 to 10 scores, so it takes about two minutes a day
  • A one-page summary sheet with the numbers your doctor will ask about
  • Questions worth asking about hormone and non-hormonal options
  • Prints on US Letter paper, in color or black and white

Useful if you are

  • In your late 30s, 40s or 50s and noticing changes in your cycle
  • Waking at 3 a.m. or dealing with night sweats
  • Preparing for an appointment about perimenopause or menopause
  • Trying a new treatment and want to see if it is working

Why women actually use it

It is short. Scores instead of journaling mean you can fill it in with your evening tea in two minutes, and the prep sheet turns weeks of notes into one page your doctor can read quickly.

What is inside the file

  • Monthly log 31 days of quick scores for period flow, hot flashes, night sweats, sleep, mood, anxiety, brain fog, aches and headaches
  • Appointment prep sheet Your top three symptoms, the numbers, what you have tried, medicines and family history
  • Questions to ask Five questions about diagnosis, hormone therapy, non-hormonal options and bone health
  • When to call sooner The warning signs that should not wait for a routine appointment

You do not have to guess your way through this decade.
