hi Ladies, 51 and have been in peri menopause for 5 years at least, my period has been irratic for the past 3 years anywhere from 20 to 40 days now it seems to be 3o days , it is mainly brown and light( spotting) but it can go on for 2 more weeks the past two periods. I have an overwhelming

fear of cancer and am convinced this is a sign of womb cancer , I got a transvaginal scan and all was clear, no cysts or polyps and lining was 2mm. so I just want this to be part of the menopause and not this crippling fear of cancer , was wondering if anyone else had this brown spotting. Thanks for reading, even typing has helped.

    From what I recently heard - a GYN who is very calm and knowledgable - if your sonogram showed a thin lining and no cysts or polyps then it's a very good sign, and the weird bleeding is just a normal sign of the system becoming wonky as we age and phasing into the upcoming menopause.

    I have had a lot of stress about brown spotting. I have a good peri doctor too. She told me it's just normal. All the articles I have read has said it's normal. Many of the women over here have comforted me and told me it's normal.

      I too am going through the never ending brown spotting and it terrifies me to the core. I also worry about cancer.
