Question 1

What is perimenopause?

Accepted Answer

Perimenopause is the transition phase before menopause, when your body's hormone levels, especially oestrogen, begin to fluctuate. It can start in your late 30s or 40s and last anywhere from a few years to over a decade.

Question 2

How is Sulu different from other health trackers?

Accepted Answer

Most health trackers are designed for general fitness or period tracking. Sulu is built specifically for perimenopause, it tracks the symptoms that matter during this transition alongside lifestyle factors. The daily check-in takes about 30 seconds.

Question 3

What symptoms can I track?

Accepted Answer

Sulu currently supports over 20 perimenopause-specific symptoms, grouped into categories like vasomotor, cognitive and emotional, sleep and energy, musculoskeletal, and reproductive health.

Question 4

How long does the daily check-in take?

Accepted Answer

About 30 seconds. You rate each symptom with a quick tap and optionally log lifestyle factors like stress, exercise, and sleep.

Question 5

What is the doctor export?

Accepted Answer

The doctor export generates a clean PDF summary of your symptom history, including averages, trends, and lifestyle factors. Instead of trying to remember what you've been experiencing, you can hand your doctor a clear, structured record.

Question 6

Is Sulu free?

Accepted Answer

The core app, daily check-in, symptom tracking, timeline view, and doctor export, is free. Supplement and HRT tracking is a premium feature available with a subscription.

What platforms is Sulu available on?

Accepted Answer

Sulu is available on both iOS (via the App Store) and Android (via Google Play). Free to download on either platform.

Question 10

Is Sulu medical advice?

Accepted Answer

No. Sulu is a personal tracking tool, not a diagnostic or treatment service. Always consult your doctor for medical decisions.

Question 11

Can I track supplements and HRT?

Accepted Answer

Yes, supplement and HRT tracking is available as a premium feature. Log supplements, HRT regimens, and dosages alongside your symptoms. HRT tracking includes reminders and feeds into your doctor report for correlation.

Question 12

How soon will I see patterns?

Accepted Answer

Most people start seeing meaningful patterns after 2 to 4 weeks of daily check-ins. The more consistently you track, the clearer the picture becomes.

Question 13

Will Sulu replace my doctor?

Accepted Answer

No. Sulu is a tracking tool that makes the conversation with your doctor better, not unnecessary. It gives you a clear record to share, your doctor still makes the clinical decisions.

Question 14

I'm not sure if this is perimenopause, can I still use Sulu?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You don't need a diagnosis to start tracking. Many women use Sulu to understand what's changing before they see their doctor. A clear symptom record is useful whether or not you have a label yet.

Question 15

What if I forget to track for a few days?

Accepted Answer

That's completely fine. Gaps don't break anything. Even inconsistent tracking builds a clearer picture than trying to remember everything at your next appointment.

Question 16

Who made Sulu?

Accepted Answer

Sulu was built by a small team who saw how hard it is to explain perimenopause symptoms from memory. We wanted to make something simple, private, and genuinely useful, not another app that tries to sell you things.
