Call your Ob/GYN and make an appointment. They may do a hormone level blood test and ask you a few questions. I have been on it 8 years and it is great ( don't care what the news accounts tell us. They said the same things about Birth Control in the 1960's).
I'd like to add that there are compounding Pharmacies that have Bio-identical Hormones if you can't tolerate the hormones given by your OB/GYN.

There is help for men too going through andropause, as long as they have no prostate cancer cells. Men shouldn't wait until their testosterone drops too low, get the bio identical hormones, it is said to protect the prostate from cancer.
