Bleeding for over a month, not sure what is happening
Posted , 7 users are following.
I'm hoping someone has answers for me . I'm 50 years old and I am in peri menopause. I went without a period for about three months from about Dec to March and then had a normal period for about 6 days. About 2 weeks after this I started to spot again - brown at first and then pinkish. It progressed to regular bleeding and at times was heavy with large clots. The bleeding has not stopped and it's now been well over a month! It is variable but mostly more pinkish red than a normal period. I'm very very worried and I am thinking the worse. There is no pain but at times some cramps. Has someone been through this and found it was ok? They did an ultrasound yesterday and I am waiting results . Also prior to the periods stoping in December I had hot flashes for the first time around October of 2015. They were intense and I suffered about 8-11 episodes per day. These stopped in January. My anxiety is very very high right now. Please help!

Firstly STOP!!! Don't panic okay. Because I've been through the same thing almost to you..
When I stopped at 50 Mm well I thought I had they came back!! I had a week of the usual thing, I got on to my doctor, she sent me for an ultra sound scan.. I was petrified!!
When I had the scan done, they said there is nothing wrong, and they don't know why it happens. But as long as there is no pain you are okay..
As for the flushes, that is the package of the monthly leaving the body.. Hormones are up in the air, the fsh levels Go squee whiff with it!! Unless you have pain don't panic!!
It's all the process of your body unwinding from menstrual days to the older part of our years.. Every woman is different..
So I hope that gives you some peace of mind..
Take extra vitamins go along to Holland and barratt health food shop and see what you can get to aliviate some of your symptoms..
But if you feel like going mad then get some help from your doctor okay
All the best liz😀

Get your iron levels checked. I had those symptoms and became anaemic. You might need some iron tablets x

I've been peri coming up nine years now.
No fun at all.
Maybe you might need to increase your iron but you will soon find out when you get results back.
Hang in there X
