Which stage am I in?
Which stage does your cycle pattern look like under the STRAW+10 criteria, which symptoms have you had over the past month, and is there a sign that needs to be checked separately? The result is not a diagnosis; it’s here so you have a clear picture when you see your doctor.

Before you see your doctor
Note down: the dates of your last periods and your cycle lengths, how often your symptoms happen and how severe they are, your sleep pattern, any medicines and supplements you take, and the age your female relatives went through menopause. A doctor’s first question is often “since when, and how often?”; being able to answer with numbers makes the appointment shorter.

Why track it?
Eşik is a mobile menopause app by FAAPPS: from the symptoms you log in 30 seconds each evening, it builds a one-page report to take to your doctor.
This is an estimate, not a diagnosis. STRAW+10 stages are based on your cycle pattern; hormone levels, symptoms and examination findings are part of your doctor’s assessment.
What is the test based on?
Stage: STRAW+10 (Stages of Reproductive Aging Workshop + 10, 2012) divides the menopause transition into stages based on the cycle pattern: the late reproductive stage is marked by small changes in cycle length and bleeding, the early transition by a recurring difference of 7 days or more between consecutive cycles, the late transition by 60 days or more without a period, and postmenopause by 12 months without a period. Hot flashes and night sweats are counted as “likely” in the late transition and early postmenopause.
Symptoms: The symptoms you report for the past month link to the related articles; their frequencies add up to a “symptom load” between 0 and 30. This isn’t a rating-scale score but a summary that shows where to start at your appointment. Warning signs: Situations that the NHS, ACOG and The Menopause Society say should be checked separately. If new hot flashes at age 45 or older come together with changes in your cycle, the NICE guideline says a doctor can identify perimenopause from your symptoms without a lab test.
