Hi

I am 40 years old for the past 6 months I have started having abdominal bloating, nausea, needing to urinate frequently and wake up 2 times a night to go to wee and my periods are very light. I only spot for about a day and half. I have also put some weight on at least an extra stone and half. 

I have done a pregnancy test just in case that came back negative. Even though I was steralised 7 years ago but thought I had better make sure. 

Can anyone help?  neutral

    I'm 44 (yikes :-) i started my period when I was 11. They have always been very heavy and long usually lasting 7-9 days. When I was 40 I had fibroids removed because of hemorrhage bleeding and bleeding for months at a time. It's no longer that heavy or long but back to just regular heavy and long 7-9 days. So I'm so jealous of people with light go no periods. But I do hope you get your worries about yours resolved. 😀
