Period again after none for 2 years?

This happend to one of my grandmother. She went though the big M and she was about 52 when she started bleeding again... long story short she ended up having cancer; they caught it early so was able to remove it and she is living a happy healthy life now. I would visit GP asap! Could be very serious or could be nothing. Better to get checked out for peace of mind! Good luck. Hope all goes well. Also I am new on here does anyone know how to start a discussion? Sorry to go off topic.

Picked up my referral paper from the GP today along with the ultrasound report. Not happy with the report. Uterine lining meaures up to 8.7mm Also the presence of several small fibroids sized from 8-19 mm and a small follicle on my right ovary...  Now have to fax papers to four hospitals and see which one will see me first. They will triage my report and call when they want and can see me. Waiting game. I get the feeling they will see me pretty quickly. (Bad sign if they do, but at least I'll make progress)

I had been taking birth control until I ran out last July, the kind where you only get a period every three months. My doctor had suggested stopping the year before, so when the prescription ran out in July, right aroundy my 47th birthday, I stopped taking it. Didn't have another period afterwards. Went for my yearly exam in October, everything appeared to by fine.

Then right before Christmas there was some bleeding, not really a full blown period, but it lasted about 7 days. I didn't give it a lot of thought in the beginning, but after a few days I started wondering if it wasn't just a period after all. I've been having some back trouble for the last few months, which I had associated with some classes I was taking at the gym. Googling "backache, menopause and bleeding" is never a good idea. 

I made a doctor's appointment for the following Saturday. The bleeding stopped, and I cancelled the appointment. Then a couple of weeks later I had some spotting, so I made another appointment. I went on Friday, and she says everything looks OK, but I will be having an ultrasound this week just to be sure. Of course, today it seems I've started yet another period.

It's scary, and frustrating. None of my relatives have had any reproductive cancers (that I know of), but my mother's parents both died of colon cancer, and her brother died of pancreatic cancer in his mid-50s. Any time I feel a bit off, my mind goes to cancer first. I'm a natural born worrier, and of course I've been worried sick for the last several weeks. My husband thankfully isn't a worrier, and is convinced everything will be fine. It's good that he's like that, it wouldn't be pleasant if we were both about to go off the deep end.

I'm very relieved to have found this form and to see this appears to be a common problem. I'll be 54 next month and was positive that after not having my period fir 2 years that I would not have to worry about it ever again. Boy, was I shocked and disappointed! And the cramps are just as bad as I remembered them. I do hope this is a one time thing. I already have an appointment with my Dr for the 1st of February and had already planned on mentioning it.

This seems to be a very common thing and I am glad everyone here is taking it upon themselves to get checked out.. it is all very scary and stressfull but can be a life saver....  I posted on here last June I think it was...going through what everyone here is going through... that shock horror of the "Period" after menopause... for some the body is adjusting and for others it is a little warning that things may not be quite right.... so for all of you that have taken the first step of making the GP call ... well done !!!!  For those that haven't, please do it is scary I know....but do it and follow through.....   A quick re-cap from me...  Last June I went to my Gyne with this problem... he examined me there and then and did an ultrasound followed by a trans vaginal scope... this picked up what looked like a cyst on my ovary...I was about 2 years post the big "M" so he refered it as a tumour which he said could be benign, but he would send me for an MRI... Well after a 10 long days of worry...I had my MRI which showed what could be a borderline ovarian tumour...but they couldn't find out exactly until they operated, so I was refered to a lovely surgeon who did a laparoscopy at the end of July  (was in hospital 1 night..) the reports came back that it was indeed borderline... so because of my age 50 years and the fact that I had had the menopause a hysterectomy was advised.. In mid September I had the op... was in hosptal 6 nights.. all went well, got the pathology report back saying that they had found some borderline cells outside of the ovary and as I have had everything taken out, I am now having a course of 6 cycles of chemo, for preventative measures..Just ha my 4th ...  My oncologist and Gyne said that the bleeding may or may not have had anything to do with this diagnosis... but by me acting on this and not ignoring it it caught things earlier..... I will have check ups and ongoing tests as these cells can turn into ovarian cancer at a later stage.. so once again it is more than likely that there is nothing to worry about... but one persons normal is not everyones normal and ovarian cancer doesn't always give symptoms...  and believe me 7 months on I am so glad I made that phone call...so ladies isten to your gut feeling.... you will be scared and stressed... but that is normal... being prodded and poked is not nice, but for the medical team this is a job and it is normal....  my gyne said to me that he feels very privileiged that ladies come to him for help because he understands that it is a very hard thing for them to do... but he is there to help and re-assure and will do his up most to help....  I hope this helps..

I have a question.  I don't have full period but blood sometimes once a month.  But in mid-month I have cervical mucus.  Does anyone else have cervical mucus?  Not as much as before but I still have it every month.
