Hello, newbie here.
I am pretty sure I am perimenopausal, I have the merina coil in and it is due to be changed this month. I was told during my last smear test that I wasn't to mention that I think i may be perimenopausal as they may not give me a replacement one.
My symptoms include:
Total loss of libido
Mood swings (I can honestly say I never noticed, it was others who mentioned it)
Crawling skin at times, especially in the evening after a day of work (my husband blames this on whatever I have eaten)
Due to my coil my periods stopped, but I used to have monthly period symptoms, and now I am lucky if I get them every few months, I never get the sore boobs that I used to have.
My memory is absolutely shocking, and I have to really concentrate on things otherwise I get easily side tracked.
I asked the doctor the last time I saw them, and for obvious reasons I haven't seen one in the past year, but the last time I saw him, he said I was too young to be thinking of this, at the time I was 43 and I am now on the verge of turning 45, I have been told my mum was in her mid 40's when she was going through it, and my younger sister has visited her doctor who believes she is going through it.
Anyway, if you've made it through that, thank you and hopefully I will get some answers.
