Odd Spotting

Posted , 3 users are following.

Hi. I am 51 and for the last year or so my periods have been regular every 24 days. This month I am on day 36 and no period. Today however there was a couple of brown spots when I went to the toilet. Nothing else has happened all day. Is this normal or should I be concerned.

    It's totally normal. Anything goes when it comes to perimenopause. I am in late stage perimenopause, and I often find that I will start my period with a bit of brown spotting. Sometimes I get a few spots, and then nothing for up to a week. At other times, I can spot on and off for up to ten days before anything significant materializes. Hope this helps:)
