I'm 47 and I believe I have started perimenopause because I didn't have a period in Dec, had a regular period in Jan, no period in Feb or March but this month I barely spotted for three days and then I started my period and I've been on it now for probably a week, approximately 10 days total counting the spotting, which is odd for me because my periods were always 4 days long. Not only that but some days my period is so heavy that I've bled through to my pants. Today has been the worst with really heavy bleeding and I even had a fairly big blood clot. So far, the irregular periods are my only symptom. Although, I'm already on antidepressants so I could have depression or anxiety if I wasn't on it, I don't know. Is this normal? I feel like my period is never going to end.
Take it from someone who’s been through the wringer with perimenopausal crap…what you’re experiencing is totally normal. But of course watch n wait. I would call if flow continues into week 3…don’t wanna get anaemic! Then i would call doc. As soon as you get an appointment it’ll stop.
Guaranteed.
Thank you, that makes me feel a lot better
