In this time of such uncertanty,,, Just hope all you lovely ladies are finding some peace on our forum!!!❤Was wondering if any if you struggle with constant spotting??? I think I am nearing the end I hope and the night sweats are coming 3 times every hour and have been spotting off and on daily for almost 2 months and due to covid have not been able to go to doctor,,, Spoke to my endocrinologist and my thyroid is low as I have hashimotos,,, If anyone else struggles please tell your story!! I also have multiple fibroids which have not caused much problems,,, so don't no if this is peri,, hashimotos or fibroids or am I coming to the end if this night mare???or something more sinister... its all very unsettling,, as always thank you all for you caring and support as this is scary!!!

    I have been spotting between periods, and symptoms ramping up. But like you I haven't seen anyone about it. I am hoping this just means nearing the end of this hellish journey. Can only hope. Will be following to see what others say.

      yep Jamie,,, would like to say what others say... Just always thought it was the peri,, then began to question as they always say spotting should be looked into!!! But everytime I brought it up to different doctors I would get this is normal!! Then they came across fibroid with me by accident on a ct scan was told fibroids were harmless,,but fibroids at our age are not as common as plops and those can be more dangerous on doing my own research... I wish the docs would give more info to put our minds at ease,, do you think you are at the beginning of peri or are you along timer like me... hugs to you!!! oh my spotting is usually up inside so I did'nt even know it was going on for the longest time... approx a year.. crazy stuff

    Yes, I get this, too. I keep thinking that my period is starting, but it just seems to start and stop and start and stop. I can get a bit of spotting or a smear of blood, and then I go a day or two with nothing, and then it starts again. I never know when I am going to get my period. I also find that having sex can seem to start me bleeding in the middle of my cycle, but then it just stops. My cycles range from 12 to 101 days, and I turn 52 later this year. I will be so thankful when all of this is over for good!

      I am really hoping that I am finally nearing the end of all of this. It has been a tremendous struggle, more emotionally than physically. Last summer was when I went 101 days without a period, and I thought that was it, but no (sadly). Since then my periods have ranged from about 25 to 35 days, with spotting on and off, particularly as I get close to my period time. My periods can range from 2 to 12 days. This is a crazy phase; that's all I can say! Try not to worry too much; what you are going through sounds like classic perimenopause to me.

    I have had this happen this month. I had my period and thought it was done and then I have had spotting for the last week. I did read that it is normal during perimenopause. I thought I was almost done with this period and then "Bam" it came again. Maybe this is how it is in the end ...I read that also...It makes a Grand exit. I just went to doc for a polyup removal and then before had my yearly pap. I feel it is just part of the process...but I get worried and then I just let it go..then I worry again...back and forth....we sure go thru so much with all of this...one symptom ends and we feel we now have a handle on all of this only to all of a sudden have another start and it makes me feel down...scared and alone. I hope this helped you..you are for sure not alone...it's weird you created this post right when it started with me also..it felt good to see this and know I was not the only one. Hugs to you.

      Marisa,,, I worry back and forth also,, it is scary would be nice If the medical community would just give us alittle insight but they don't we don't know if we are coming or going!! Did u even know you had a polp?? because of the spotting or what?My first thought also this is coming to an end but now not sure... Have you been in peri for awhile??? seems like I have about four or five years,, but the spotting thing has been awhile just didn't know and I feel like a scared idiot!!! hugs to you,, hope the polp removal wasn't to drastic of a proceedure for you!!! hugs
