I am 42 and haven't had a period for 4 years a month ago I got a little bleeding and two weeks later a little more well today I'm bleeding like crazy. I see the dr on Wednesday and hadn't planned on mentioning it to her as I just assumed that was life but after reading this I might bring it up although I don't like the idea of all those tests. I am experiencing some pain in my back I actually thought I might have a kidney infection until my period came now I'm assuming the pain is from it! Can it be weight loss I have recently lost 50 pds.

Shew I thought I was done with this too. I'd made it 7 months straight and it caught me on a long trip home. Now if it'll just taper off. 6 days going strong. 😐 Sounds like just about all of us on this thread are in the same age group.

So I along with a lot of ladies here am in the same boat. Nothing for 14 months then some breast tenderness, zits, slight emotional swing and couple of weeks later some spotting. If my periods had not stopped I would have sworn I was due.
Off to the docs smear test (was due one anyway) scheduled Monday and waiting on the date for the TVU .
Worried well of course the what might it be possibilities are bound to go through your mind, but the accounts here have me reassured. The doc said it is standard procedure to check it out and that the majority of the time it is nothing nasty.
Best of luck with your tests hopefully we will both get a your fine verdict.

I googled this because after 9 years of being post menopausal this is happening to me.
This first happened about July 16 - i reported to to my GP, had a smear test (which came back fine) and the referred me to my local hospital for further investigations.
Just after Christmas i had an inter vaginal ultrasound and everything was found to be fine, now both last month (July 17) and now August, i am having light bleeding lasting 3-5 days.
Is this normal for anyone else here? Please, any advice would be welcomed.

2 years for me also. 2 days ago I started bleeding suddenly. I have period pains etc.
I have gone through all the menopause symptoms and have felt so awful with hot flushes etc at times. I discovered high strength sage about a month ago. No more hot flushes just like that! I thought Im getting to be my old self again. I'm 52.
Really fed fed up now. Going to docs tomorrow hopefully.

Not sure Robin 🤔
Wish it was simple!!!
I am 56...
After nearly 2.5 years of no monthly periods, l suddenly out of the blue (along with the tender breasts/nipples, clear white discharge and awful period pains got a period! My period was heavy for the first few days, then it eased off but lasted about six days!
Not many ladies have mentioned a heavy period, so l am now panicking!
Sat here at the hospital waiting for my blood test... 😳

I know it is a scary feeling but read the posts here and be reassured. Just back from my tvu and was told that they see a lot of us ladies in the pmb clinic and that only rarely is it anything serious. My results my lining is thin 3mm which is good but a couple of small cysts on one ovary. Again was told this is fairly common and in the vast majority of cases nothing to worry about. Still because post menopausal and because it is best practice blood test and follow up tvu in 4 months. Still not free of worry but still rare for the expert to call anyone back before the scheduled follow up she said. Best of luck to you.

I am so glad I found this page....I'm having the same issues, after 2 years of no period, suddenly I'm having a very light one but, have all other symptoms of my period, like cramps, tender breasts. I've been a wreck!!! I had bloodwork done this morning 10/19 & having tvus this coming Monday. I know they keep saying this isn't normal but with the amount of women that have responded to this, it sure seems like a common thing to happen. Of course it needs to be checked out but, looking on most internet websites was horrifying, scared the neck out of me they always give you worst case scenario first!! Fingers crossed that it's nothing major. Good luck to all!

I started a brown discharge. Then I felt my breasts hurting, cramping going on and headaches. I started my period. I have not had one in seven years. I am on HRT and use Estrace. I am going to give it a few days, because the past week has been crazy. I will try to chill. If it does not stop then I know the next step. I am 58.

Brownies headaches feel like you're about to faint that sounds like a baby that is the symptoms I used to have when I was younger having kids when my period wouldn't come on I will see a brown discharge my head will hurt and I felt dizzy when I went to the hospital I was 3 to 4 months pregnant I know we getting older because I am 59 November I would be 60 if God did bless me to have another one I will have it but I don't know because I had my tubes cut burnt and tied they say you can't get pregnant when you have it but I have had something going on with me with my tubes or getting pregnant on the outside of my woman but the doctors tell me I didn't have a miscarriage or it don't look like I had I was pregnant at all what do they know ladies out there we know our bodies so we have to go with what we think is wrong with our own bodies but still go to the clinic and check it out it could be a fibroid so I am going to leave you ladies and say stay blessed in the Lord

My result was almost idedntical. 1 small cyst & slight thinning of the lining, I go back in 3 months for another tvu. They gave me a choice, I could either go ahead & have the D & C or go for another tvu. Dr. also said if there's anymore bleeding I will have to have the d & c. So, I feel relieved but not totally relieved. Best of luck to all!!
