The short answer

Menopause is the point 12 months after your last period. In the US the average age is about 51. Hot flashes, night sweats, poor sleep, mood changes and brain fog are common in the years around it.

Her Good Days keeps a dated log of each symptom and shows the week at a glance, so you and your doctor can see what is happening and whether it is changing.
