Hi there, I know irregular periods are part of perimenapause but I've been spitting and spotting and a bit more at times for about 6 weeks now. Not normally having to wear more than a panty pad Before this I had 3 months with nothing ! Anyone had the same and when did it stop ! And any medication or treatment ? Getting fed up now !

    You are welcome Goosie.

    I kmow how much I worried when I was going through those times. You really don't know what to expect regarding periods so when I saw your post I wanted to reply as I was worried out of my mind when it was happening to me. Some days I would suddenly flood like crazy without any warning and then it would be back to the spotting, thinking I had stopped and then it would start again. I worried there was all sorts wrong with me but it was just the hormones playing up.

    Take care all of you xx
