Useful resources and links

Your menopause journey deserves information you can trust. While social media offers community and shared experiences, try to prioritize medical websites, peer-reviewed research, and healthcare professionals for treatment decisions. Be wary of sources making dramatic promises ("cure menopause naturally!"), pushing expensive supplements, or claiming "doctors don't want you to know this."

The best approach combines evidence-based knowledge with the support and understanding that comes from connecting with others who truly get what you're going through.

These web sites are reliable and offer women trustworthy information for their menopause journey.

Period Tracker - Paper based

Tracking your periods during perimenopause helps your doctor distinguish between normal hormonal changes and potential health concerns that need treatment. It can help you identify concerning patterns like extremely heavy bleeding that warrant immediate medical attention. Period tracking also provides the accurate menstrual history needed to determine when you've officially reached menopause. Lastly, correlating your cycle with symptoms like mood swings or hot flashes can reveal helpful patterns for managing your transition more effectively. While there are many on-line period trackers available, we understand that some women may prefer paper-based ones. This simple period tracker offered by the Menopause Society is simple and easy to use.
