Normal period well after menopause

Has anyone ever had a full blown period well after menopause (1.5 years)? I have had a bit of bleeding before that led to a whole workup and I'm not planning to go through that again because this is CLEARLY hormonal. I had all the symptoms - pms, sore breasts, weird dreams, irritability, even a bump in libido a couple weeks before - everything I've ever had before a period and now am having a normal period, not particularly heavy or crampy. I should say I am taking HRT (divigel and daily progesterone) for the past two years which I suspect led to a cessation of my periods completely perhaps before they would have stopped. I will do an ultrasound but will not do another very painful biopsy unless my doctor convinces me otherwise. Just wondering if stress can bring this on too - it's certainly been an extremely stressful year.

    Did you have your COVID vaccine? I'm 18 mos since my last period and about a week or so after my first shot I started feeling like I was ovulating. My breasts were tender, my hot flashes stopped, I had the telltale egg white consistency vaginal mucus. Then this past Sunday I started bleeding.

    My primary care is sending me to GYN for follow up. I so don't want to go through all the invasive testing and I'm hoping they'll hear my symptoms and agree.

    I've been reading a lot on line about post menopausal women getting periods after the vaccine.

      Im three years into no periods but had a strange bleed three days after my vaccination. Im also being sent for tests which is really scaring. My doctor was completely blocking any idea that it was the vaccine but i have seen many comments with similar experiences.
