Hi there
Don’t panic!!
It’s happened to me. I went for an ultra sound, and they found nothing wrong. It’s just called the last laugh . Or last show. For pre menopause.. I’ve had nothing since.
If you experience more after that, go and get it checked again.
But menopause it’s a right pain when you first get it. You’re body is on the change, so we have to adjust and accept it unfortunately.
Just eat lots of fruit and veg, and exercise as much as you can.
Stop the podgy area of your abdomen, from protruding exercise stretch exercises too. Don’t sit around slouched on chairs and sofas for a long time either. Stand up right and sit upright too. Anything to help your posture.. 😊👍🏻

I will be 55 years old in July of this year which is 2018. When I was 47 years old my gynecologist since I was age of 16 and I trust dearly told me I had the Big M . Prior to this when I was 37 he tied my tubes after my fourth child. My period's became extremely hard and knocked me down for 2 days to 3 days at a time each month regularly to the day. As I got older at 47 he told me I'd hit the Big M at the age of 48 he gave me for the heavy bleeding and clotting an Ablation. The periods became very much lighter I then began to have fun menopausal hot flashes never night sweats my libido was never affected irritability of course yes periods were starting to become closer together further apart so I always kept track of them on a calendar. Have always been faithful with Pap smears and mammograms he always told me also I was always so very normal. As soon as I turned 51, I stopped having my periods all together. I will be 55 July 2018 so it has been 3 years 8 months with no. No cramping until February of 2018 I started experiencing cramping as back pain severe. I also had fresh blood just once and it was gone so I contacted my personal care physician she sent me to my OBGYN where and a three-week course I had three vaginal ultrasounds and on my stomach, three pap smears, 1 cervical check, CAT scan with contrast and bent over in pain so bad I could not stand nor set..... GYN she put me on progesterone and an antibiotic of Doxycycline in pill form and told me to come see her in one month. It is now at the point where all the pills are gone taken as prescribed and sure enough I started my period and have been bleeding for 3 days very light heavy cramping and severe back pain. What is going on?

Also she stated she wanted to put me or bring on a period because back in February I only spotted once and she did find a cyst on my uterus the size of the end of her finger tip which she was not concerned about. After I go out the medication she gives me now I'm bleeding this is day number 3 and I'm about ready to bite someone's head off my poor husband

Hi I'm 51, and 5 weeks ago had some brown spotting , after 2 years of no period, when I went to the toilet. It only happened the once but I saw my doctor, who referred me to a gynaecologist. I've since had TVU and was told by the scanner that the only thing she could see was either a very small cyst or a collapsing folicle ? and a little fluid in my womb . I've since goggled fluid in the womb and it's come back with the big C so am now terrified .
This is the second time I have been through this, the last time was 2 years ago when there was small thickening of the womb (4.2) I had a biopsy but everything was fine. But because it's the second time I'm booked in for a hysteroscopy tomorrow afternoon . Not looking forward to it, have heard it can be painful.

i had same, no period for 18 months, then spotting. ,then full bleed like a period .I’m .51 , started peri around 7 yrs ago.
Went to doc, sent me to hospital , had transvaginal ultrasound and exam of cervix. ,using camera. Both were healthy and normal . They saw nothing to concern them, and said doing anything more invasive wld do more harm than good. Obviously they cldnt explain bleeding, so put it down to hormone surge, a period. Told me to keep a record over next 5 months ,if I get any bleeds that is, then go to doc after that, and they will investigate further next time .
Its very common , so don’t be overly concerned , just get it checked out with doc.

Don't worry go to your doctor asap.
You'll be fine it sounds like a final hormone flush. Take care.

Get a check-up This happened to me and it was a small cyst that burst nothing serious but something that my doctor is keeping an eye on..the tender breasts is your hormones going berserk...I went the first couple of years not being able to wear a bra because it was so uncomfortable...now it isn't so bad I can survive the whole day..just don't get to worried most of the time it's nothing...my doctor told me our bodies are still a mystery dont know why this happens. Take care and make a doctor's appointment and keep us posted.
