    Symptoms include irregular / missed periods, maybe increasingly heavy, especially after a missed one. Additional bodily hair growth, including odd chin hairs etc. Hot flushes / sweating, eg. when coming from the cold into a warm room as the hypothalmus is not working as well. Mood swings, including depression and anger / quick temper. Fluid retention, itchy skin …. I’m in the same boat as you - trying to remember there’s gotta be something to look forward to!
