I am 59 soon to be 60 yr old, and have started spotting. I am a woman of faith but I have to admit I am afraid. It started last week, in the form of old dark colored blood, and since then its been basically a spear everytime I use the restroom, I have been to the gyn and he says the bleeding is coming from my uterus and he is concerned, so its not as if the lining is thick or thin. He has scheduled a ultrasound next week. Is there anyone that has experienced bleeding from the uterus. Please respond, going crazy here with all kinds of thoughts. Thanks and GOD Bless....
Hi c02706,
I am currently in the same situation as yourself. I have had a couple of episodes of very light pink spotting after wiping using the loo. I have an appintment to see my GP on Monday and she will obviously refer me to be checked out. I too am terrified of what may be found...5 years with no period and then this happens. You don't mention in your post how long you have been period free/post menopausal?
Hi, I have been about 5 years post menopausal. I will be praying for you. Be sure to find out where the bleeding is coming from, not sure but from what I understand if its the lining that could be, thick or thin, that is causing the bleeding and that is not as serious.
Hi c02706, you are about the same time post menopausal as me then. Yes, there is a few explanations as to why this may happen apparently, thinning of the womb lining being one of them. Have you had any tests yet?
Hello c02706
First off I want to say I understand EXACTLY how you feel I just went through what you are going through now and I am 59 yrs old too and June of this year I woke up with flooding right off the bat and hadn't had a period in over 19 months I ended up in ER because my bleeding was flooding so bad I felt like i was hemmorraging . I had transvaginal ultra sound done and showed my uterus linning was 9mm so I had to get biospy of uterus and I also got biopsy of cervix and paps. ALL test came back fine! It's good that your spotting is coming from uterus thats where it should come from you could be having a hormonal surge... How long have you been post meno or are you meno? When was your last period? Are you on hrt or anything else for hormones? Don't let this scare you, post bleeding does happen. When you went to GYN what all did he do that day?
I am praying for His peace which transcends all understanding. Please keep us updated. I will be praying for you. These darn hormones are always scaring the daylights out of us!
O yes I understand your anxiety my dear I have had 5 weeks of waiting for results from biopsy and transvaginal scans ect I too had spotting brown then red only on tissue I am to menopausal anyway to cut my story short had my results Tuesday and I have polyp which is like a skin tag embedded in my uterus I also have small fiberiods all harmless and are very common hope info helps xx God bless xxx
Pleased it is all sorted for you now Kerry, I already cancelled one appointment with my GP because I am am scared to find out what is wrong...I know I have to deal with it though and have mada another appointment for Monday.
I understand I suffer panic attacks and anxiety Lost weight through worry I was convinced it was sinister but you know early detection is a must my consultant suggested it was 99% curable if it's worse case scenario full hysrectomy done so please go as its more probable it's something easy to deal with 😘🙏🏻in my prayers xxx
Thank you Kerry, had so many health scares this year, breast pain being the worst...I lost a lot of weight through that too! it has been one thing after another...thank you again for your kind words
I suffer breast pain also sharp pain burning sensation all normal part of menopause my doctors said deep breaths we all can get through this xxx happy to help but if ever in doubt always make appointment 😘😘
Glad I'm not the only one losing weight. So when I'm not anxious and have an appetite I def take advantage of it. I normally look all puney and tired. I will be so glad when this is over

left breast so maybe we can keep one another lifted up
in prayer. I can tell you this much I sure could use a break
as I know you could as well!😊 Please let's keep in touch and in prayer together.🙏🏽

Thank you!!❤️😊
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻for you and all ladies who need positivity in there life's right my god grant you strength I will keep you in my thoughts amen ❤️
Oh THANK GOD for you ladies. This is the first time I have reached out to anyone and to get these responses, has truly been a blessing and has eased my mind. I have my first ultrasound on Tuesday. My bleeding is coming from the uterus the gyn said. I have not had a period in about 5 years and all of a sudden, bam...shock and FEAR at what I saw. My gyn has not given me much information as to why this has happened. But its good to know Im not alone. I had taken, for about 5 days an antibiotic prescribed by a dentist for a root canal and, I thought that was the culprit, but my gyn said that only happens to women who are not in memopause and that something was not quite right. But he did say that it was NOT the lining being thick or thin, it was something else.
Was that antibotic erythromicin? There is several kinds of Antibotics can cause a female to bleed regardless. Hows the bleeding now? We are here for you 24/7 :-)
Hi Crosado8, the antibotic was amoxicillin (spelling). I still see a brown light discharge.
When is your ultrasound this week?
