Hi guys,
Just checking in with you all and hoping that you're all doing good.
Just a quick update - haven't had a proper period since Nov 2nd so it's been 8 months.
I am grateful for that since when I have a period it is extremely heavy.
I'm not getting anything close to that now so that makes me happy. 
I'm not out of the woods yet and I do realize I'm still in perimenopause
I had a very bad flu 4 weeks ago which has really set me back a bit - I'm still feeling pretty crappy. 
I still feel the hormones fluctuating now and then (sore breasts, anxiety, clumsiness, headaches,  tummy pain) t
The two main things which currently bother me is poor sleep and depression.
Wish I could go back to the time before menopause.
I was so different then.
God bless you all.

That's a sentiment which rings true - not sure we appreciate our 'pre meno' selves enough at the time. Keep hanging in there, good days and bad eh - no doubt your poor sleeping is adding to your low mood, is there something you could get from the GP to help? I'm on an SSRI now - Sertraline - and although it has taken about 5 weeks, I am starting to feel the benefit of it (mine is anxiety rather than depression). They are not for everyone but seem to be helping me and I'm not complaining about that
