Hi Dizzy, Fom what I understand and have experienced during peri, there is no "normal!"
Before peri my cycles were like clockwork- every 30 days. When peri started they got shorter and shorter, down to 18 days. Some were normal flow, others light and only 2-3 days. Then I would spot between periods. In the last couple of years my cycles got longer and longer. I would cramp, bloat, have pms and migraines and then my period would consist of only spotting for a few days. During the last 6 months I would cramp mildly, then when I'd wipe after using the bathroom I'd have a light pink spot and then, nothing. This month, my period has been a small amount of bright spotting with very small clots for 2 days. My cycles have gotten very long too, like from 45-60 days between periods. I've been using a period tracker on my phone for years but have gotten so confused about what to count as a period as opposed to just spotting! Now, I just record my spotting, symptoms and moods on my period tracker and really don't know what to record as being a "period" vs. just spotting.

Hello
Your story really looks like mine. I can't use my period tracker on my phone because I don't know what is a period or not.
My last real period was in March since that time I've had spotting a few days then blood again 15 weeks later and today I've been bleeding everyday for one month but not proper blood, only blood when I wipe after using the bathroom.
My breast didn't hurt me anymore but it's been hurting again for 2 weeks .
I'll see my doctor next week. I'm 52 in August.
I hope it's Peri because sometimes I can't help worrying .

Thank you for answering Sue. But I've read that long lasting bleeding can be abnormal. It's a bit worrying don't you think?

Thank you.
I don't want to have any hormonal treatment so I think it will be easier for me to cope with this when ill make sure everything is fine.
I'm really glad I found this site. L looked on the French forum's but ladies aren't as helpful as on the English site .
Thanks a lot

I wanted to try the Dr Lee cream.
He wrote a book about natural treatment for menopause and he recommends this cream
