Menopause or peri still?

Posted , 2 users are following.

Hi ladies, so been peri since 35 diagnosed via bloods. All the normal symptoms. Last November I hadn't had a period for nearly 2 years but I woke up and had some spotting phone my gp, whom referred me urgently to a gynaecologist, had the scan and internal one, they said my lining was a little thick nothing untoward and a little cyst on my right ovary but nothing to worry about. I then had an endometrial biopsy that cam back nothing wrong. No bleeding since but still all the normal symptoms. Then Tuesday this week I woke to horrendous period pain I thought I was in a labour and had light pink blood but only when I wiped. I rung the doctors and she said she wanted to speak to the gynaecologist and see if i need to be seen again. I'm still lightly bleeding now, but not enough to wear a pad nothing, with period pains sore boobs and craving chocolate. Has anyone had this before I am really scared. Could it be a period as my body hasn't sorted itself out yet or can it be something sinnister

    Hello Yasmine. I had a friend in a similar situation where she had not seen her period in 2 yrs then started spotting light blood here and there. That lasted for 6 months then it stopped. She was told that this is common with women about to hit post menopause. I believe you hit menopause without seeing a period for 2 yrs, then you hit post menopause. You shouldn't worry, I think your body is in its settling stage. Women get symptoms at all stages. Just try to rest your mind. God bless
