" Hiya....I have nearly all them symptoms.
The only ones I don't have so far are thinning hair (definite moustache & whiskers, though), change in the look of my labia (can't say that I study it all that regularly; hubby hasn't mentioned anything), loss of pubic hair (not obvious, anyway), and weight gain. (This is because my #1 Menopausal Symptom from Hell has been Gastrointestinal Distress. Believe me when I tell you, my friends, that I would rather be 10-20 more than go through the pain and misery that makes me nauseated at the thought of food. I feel like I swallowed a watermelon and have craggy rocks the size of softballs rolling through my guts, crashing into each other and smashing my other organs. Have to follow up with my GI this week for test results.)I just spent this past weekend in bed dealing with the GID.
Good luck with whatever you go through! "

" not all of the symptoms are included in that list,I see quite a few missing.

and some of those listed are just a catagory of symptoms from one ailment.
vaginal dryness, change in appearance of labia (it should also say shrinking clitoris) loss of pubic hair, thin watery discharge, recurring yeast infections would all be a sign of one menopasal issue... which is vaginal atrophy.

osteoporosis does not generally occur as a perimenopause ealy symptom. it happens when you are post menopause from the absence of estrogen. estrogen is responsible for keeping bones from getting brittle (teeth as well can be lost)

infertility, well that is just padding the list since we pretty well know that menopause means your child bearing years are over. "
