post menopausal bleeding

Hi Jeanne,

hows many years peri meno are you..

i am in year 8 and can have an awful period 8 or 9 months apart, i still get symptoms and anxiety in between but dont have the period, i only had two last year.. i do not take HRT only Estroven herbal and vitamins.

sorry I cant be of more help.... jayx

Hi jays thank u 4 responding. Peri I am probably 2-3 years. Post meno I have gone 14 months which according to medical guidelines would have deemed me menopausal.....having gone 12 months without a period. It is just so frustrating...once u think it is over her u go again. So you still get a period 8 months apart? Have u had any testing and can I ask how old u r ? I am 56. This stinks. But last year all tests were negative so I am hoping this latest episode was hormonal or dress driven. Wishing u well.jeanne

Hi Jeanne

yes i have had FSH test, I am peri, just prolonged for me ... can be up to ten years for some..

yes your right they say 12 months without a period is classed as menopause ... its a nuisance isnt it..

I am 49, my lucky Mum sailed through it was two years from start to finish and was only 42 ...

take care .. jay

I am 50 (soon to be 51) and have been told by 2 doctors that I am post-menopausal. They both ran blood tests that indicated it. I haven't had a menstruation cycle for about 3 years. I have been spotting (old blood) for about a month. This morning, I am having a regular menstruation cycle. I am also on synthroid and under a great deal of stress as well. I have been on Prempro for about a year. I may give it a couple more months, depending on what happens, and then call the doctor.

oh teresa, poor you, i bet you must of thought that was it. then this happens, 😮 think if it was me i would not wait, and just mention to the docs, maybe your tablets need adjusting or something, best not to wait, bless you and take care Jay.

Hi Teresa, I know exactly how u feel when out of the blue here is your period again!!! I keep telling my husband in my next life I am coming back as a man or a dog with a good home as wevspoil our dog wicked!!! All kidding aside, I am seeing the gyno today so I will keep u updated. A little nervous but in have been here before. It truly sucks. Stay strong and healthy!!!!

Went to the Dr today. As expected, I am getting a tvu and biopsy again. The Dr said he is fairly confident that it was probably in fact a true period due to an ovulation. But he wants to be sure...u know better safe than sorry. I have had biopsy before..really just a nuisance...very very quick procedure..over beforeuknow it. I will keep u informed..hope everyone is hanging in there. Thanks gals from the UK. U r all so supportive

Hi Jeanne, oh bless you, yes better to be safe than sorry, you do the right thing, your doctor sounds amazing, very on the ball... good luck hun, let us know how you get on... put it out your mind and enjoy your weekend, all will be good .. Jay x

Hello everyone, I am back again!! Had the tvu and that was no big deal. Didn't take long at all. Looks like there is a very small fibroid that could have caused the bleeding..thank god hasn't happened again!! But still scheduled for the biopsy in March. I do feel better knowing that the uterus looked okay on the ultrasound. Hope everyone is doing well and keep your chins up!!!

You have to love the internet!   I am so happy to be able to type in a question and find people who are in the same boat.

I haven't had a cycle for about a year.  I am under a huge amount of stress and symptoms started last week.  tenderness and spotting.  today though after even more stress i'm in a regular heavy cycle.  @)#($*)@#(%)@(#*$)(*%)@(#*%_(*$_(@*%_(#*$)(#@*%)(@#*$)(#@*$)(#*$)(#$*)@(#*$)

and  )#($&_)#(*$_)@(#%_)@($*_)@(#*$)@#

ok now that i've gotten that off my chest.  I don't even buy supplies anymore.  I'm 50 and thought this was far behind me.  ugh.  

Sorry you guys are having the same experience but glad to know i'm not alone.  Thanks Jeanne for asking the question and thanks to those who replied.

Hello there! My name is Angela and I am quite new to this subject. I have been dealing with " night sweats" for about 3 years now. about 4 months ago I started having these sweats or " hot flashes" about every 2 hours during the daytime as well. My last period was 4 months ago in May. The doctor had told me I was "Pre-Menopausal " 3 years ago. I thought this was it considering my mother went through it at 45 and I am 46. Then, last night, all of a sudden BOOM! I started my period much heavier than I had before. I hadn't had any night sweats or hot flashes for a week which I thought they were finally over. Wrong, it's my period. I've been dealing with the stress of moving for about a month now so I'm not sure if that is the reasoning behind this or not.
