I have had blood tests to check my hormone levels and they have come back as high fsh and low estrogen. My gp thinks this is indicating peri menopause BUT as I’m only 39 and I have endometriosis as well as having 2 laparoscopies he isn’t sure and is going to ask a gynaecology for their opinion.

Hi I also get hot flushes now.

Like you I got the test but it came back and I am not going through the menopause yet.

So it’s my hormones! 😢

I have been told that as I am bleeding a lot, it’s also an indication that my body isn’t putting me into the menopause yet. As periods / bleeding would become less.

My mom has endo and she still is undiagnosed. She also experienced hot flushes and had to have some tests done to see if her hormones were to blame or not. She is now 50 as of November last year so her menopause only truly started about a month ago. She is going back to the hospital early next week for a blood test that should tell her a bit more. Best of luck!

Try menocool black cohosh from Holland and Barrett. I’ve heard really good things about it and planning to start it when I start medical menopause later this month.

You can also get a cream for vaginal dryness
