Hi, Linda. Anytime you go without bleeding for such a long time, then begin to bleed, it needs to be investigated. So, you were right to book an appointment with your doctor.
Usually, the doctor will initially order blood tests and an ultrasound to check the width of your uterine stripe; the lining of your uterus. Then, depending upon what is found, your doctor may order additional tests.
Don't worry about it, but do go see your doctor, and don't put it off.
Best of luck to you, and let me know how you do.

Yep. Happened to me. I stay on this forum to tell people that because i know how scary it is. I was 51 and was almost 3 years post Menopause. I had several tests and all was fine. Hasn't happened since and that was almost 2 years ago. So it does happen. But definitely have it checked out to be sure.
