Have any of you experienced bright red spotting for a few days then almost a light period with small clots for a day, then almost nothing, then back to red spotting. Thanks for all your replies ladies.

    Sounds like peri to me! During my first two years in peri I would spot with lots of cramping like if I was on a full blown period, then a day or two of medium bleeding with small clots, then again spotting. I spotted one whole month like that before..

      MenoPro,

      I am trying to keep track of this, too! I started getting cramps - I haven't had cramps since my teen years - thankful for all of those years but it's new along with my period being all over the board in length, timing, flow, spotting, clots etc.

      It makes for a big transition being everything was so clockwork until age 49! About 4-5 days before my period would come on day 28, I would have one or two sad days, then an irritated day, then would feel very tired the next day and then BOOM the next day I'd get my period! Now my moods - all of it! - is so unpredictable.

      Your definitely not alone! Like I stated in my last message, I spotted a whole month like that before! Sometimes only two weeks or week and a half and so on...Hormones just go wacky in peri, especially at the beginning! When I first began meno, that was my main symptom for the first couple of years, and of course, all the spotting/changes did worry me at the time, because I had pretty regular periods all my life (no spotting at all), then the spotting began and I freaked out thinking the worst! Had a regular check up (ultrasound and all) and all looked fine, so I just kind of tried to get use to all the new changes, it was hard, but I finally did manage to cope, and you get to a stage where you see yourself spotting again and just say, oh! Here I go again! Lol, BTW, it does get better as you get closer to meno, spotting may stop and you begin to skip periods all together!
