Perimenopause and menopause check-ins, on your calendar
"When did the night sweats start?" is a hard question to answer in a ten-minute appointment. A two-minute weekly prompt on Sunday evening means you'll actually know.

What shows up next
Quick log for the week: sleep, hot flushes, mood, energy, cycle. Patterns are much easier to spot (and to explain at an appointment) when they're written down weekly instead of remembered.
Five minutes, once a month: • How many hot flushes or night sweats this month, roughly? • Sleep: better, same or worse? • Periods: dates, flow, any gaps or unusual bleeding? • Mood, brain fog, joint aches, anything new?
New year, new appointment? Bring a one-page summary: symptoms with rough frequency, cycle dates, sleep, medications and supplements, and your top 3 questions. It makes a 10-minute appointment far more useful.
October 18 is World Menopause Day, promoted by the International Menopause Society. A good day to book the check-up you've been putting off, or to share what you've learned with a friend.
Perimenopause can last several years, and symptoms come and go. That makes them hard to describe from memory. This calendar asks the same few questions every Sunday evening and on the 1st of each month, so patterns show up: sleep getting worse, flushes clustering, cycles stretching out.
It also marks World Menopause Day (October 18) and a January reminder to prepare a one-page summary before your next appointment. The calendar doesn't store anything you write. That stays wherever you choose to log it.
