Pink spotting for a day - 18 months into menopause - advice?!
Posted , 2 users are following.
Hello ladies.... I found a couple of old threads on here that were relevant but as I said, one was 4 years old. So I'm asking if anyone else is /has experienced this recently?
?I had a tiny bit of cramp yesterday on and off through the day the cramp was milder but similar to the old feeling I had just before a period (my periods were v painful and one thing I'm not happy to leave behind!) and twice when I went to wee when I wiped there was a little pink smear on toilet paper.
I of course googled (note to self -YOU ARE AN IDIOT) and upset my day completely.
?I've got in to docs tomorrow but I suppose I'm looking for a bit of reassurance. Instinct says get it checked. Because of the cramp more than anything. If it had just been a bit of blood and no pain I might have assumed a slight scratch or some such.
I last had a period March 2016 - so 18 months ago.
?Trying not to make any leaps but menopause has made me v antsy.
?I also have a Bartholin Cyst and wondered if that might be playing up. I guess the GP is my best option but anyone with similar situation, drop me a line?
?Thanks!

Honestly I wouldn't worry about it. Woman continue to produce estrogen even after their periods stop. It just sounds like your ovaries were doing a little dance. I have know women who had a full period after menopause.

Thanks for that...made me smile...kind of like the idea of my ovaries having a little dance. About the only part of me that feels like dancing I can tell you!
Feeling fed up of seemingly random symptoms that appear from research to be menopause related. This was just another kick in the pants.
Still think I need to fill GP in as slight gripe of pain continued today ( no pink on wiping though) & I just can't put it out of my mind.
Really appreciate your replying!
