Vaginal atrophy/dryness

Hi ladies. I am 47 and i have been in peri about 3 years. I've skipped a few periods or been really late etc. I think I may be experiencing VA. If you have, what were your symptoms? I'm just not sure what is going on down there! I have urinary frequency with some urge incontinence. But, I also feel pressure and sometimes sore (not related to sex). Did it start while you were still at this stage in peri? Did it come and go? I am late right now. If i start my period, will it get better? thanks
