Free menopause symptom tracker
Six questions about your week, then the Greene Climacteric Scale, 21 questions on menopause symptoms. It takes a few minutes: start with the first one below.
What it asks you, and why
First, six questions about your week
Sleep, mood, energy, confidence, hot flushes and brain fog. These are what a nurse prescriber asks about at every review, so you are answering her questions. Brain fog is one of them because the standard questionnaires do not ask about it, and for a lot of women it is the worst part.
Then the Greene Climacteric Scale
21 questions, word for word as the scale is written, with its own four answers from “not at all” to “extremely”. Your answers mean the same to any clinician who reads them.
What you get back
Your own answers, set out the way a clinician reads them. The tracker does not score you and does not tell you what your answers mean: that part needs somebody who can ask you follow-up questions.
When you want somebody to read it
You can book a video consultation with a menopause nurse prescriber. Your check-ins are on her screen while you talk, so the call does not start with “tell me about your symptoms”. No GP referral, no waiting list.
Good questions
Is there a test for menopause?
There is no single test that confirms menopause. Diagnosis is usually made from your age, your cycle and your symptoms rather than from a blood test, which is why a record of your symptoms over several weeks is genuinely useful to whoever you see. This tracker is that record. It is not a diagnosis.
Is the tracker really free?
Yes. You can complete a check-in without giving us anything at all, and creating an account to keep your weeks is free, with no card and nothing to cancel. A consultation with a nurse prescriber is paid for, if and when you decide you want one.
Do I need an account to use it?
No. You can answer the whole check-in and see it back without one. An account exists only so your weeks are saved, which is what lets you compare this week against the last.
What is the Greene Climacteric Scale?
A widely used 21-question menopause symptom questionnaire, covering anxiety, low mood, physical symptoms, hot flushes and night sweats, and sexual symptoms. It is used here word for word, so your answers mean the same as they would anywhere else.
Can I take this to my GP?
Yes, and it is a reasonable thing to bring. A few weeks of your own records are more use in a ten-minute appointment than trying to remember how the last two months went.
How often should I check in?
Weekly is what we suggest, and it is what the tracker is built around. Anything regular is better than nothing: the value is in the pattern rather than in any single week.
