You're not going mad. But you deserve some honest answers.

Are you Googling your symptoms at 3am? Have you come away from a GP appointment feeling dismissed, confused, or handed a leaflet that raised more questions than it answered? Are you experiencing things nobody warned you about — rage that comes from nowhere, electric shock sensations under your skin, a word that simply vanishes mid-sentence?

The Menopause Q&A is the book that answers the questions women are actually asking. Not a 400-page medical textbook. Not a celebrity memoir. Just honest, clear, warm answers — written by a registered midwife who is navigating perimenopause herself.

With more than two decades spent supporting women through the beginning of the reproductive journey, Amanda Davies discovered that the end of it was just as poorly supported — and just as full of questions nobody was answering. This book is the resource she wished had existed.

Inside, you'll find straight answers to 200 real questions, including:

• Is HRT really safe?

• Why do I gain weight when nothing has changed?

• Is this brain fog or early dementia?

• Why have I never felt this anxious before?

• How do I get my GP to take me seriously?

• What does testosterone actually do for women?

• How do I talk to my partner, my children, my employer?

• Will I ever feel like myself again?

Written in the warm, no-nonsense voice of a knowledgeable friend who also happens to be a clinical professional, The Menopause Q&A covers every aspect of the perimenopause and menopause experience — symptoms, HRT, testosterone, bone health, heart health, weight, sleep, sex, relationships, your rights at work, and what comes next.

Every answer stands alone. Listen from beginning to end, or go straight to the question that matters most to you right now.

You deserve to understand what is happening to you. You deserve honest answers.
