SOUND FAMILIAR?
"Your bloods are normal."
But no one checked the right things — or tested at the right point in your cycle.
"Too young for menopause."
Perimenopause can begin in your late 30s. You're not too young. You're being waved off.
"It's probably just stress."
Your symptoms get blamed on anxiety before anything physical is ruled out.
"Let's wait and see."
You're told to monitor it — while you're the one living with it right now.
"Come back if it gets worse."
No plan, no follow-up, no idea what to actually ask for next.
This is why the script exists.
You walk in knowing exactly what to say, what to ask for, and how to push back.
