Day 50 - no period ...a little spotting.

nh_user_1126334 · January 9, 2018, 6:30pm

Hello ladies,

I am 51 years and this is this is new territory in my trip through perimenopause. I am on day 50 with no period but have had a little bit of spotting for the past few days. Not much spotting, just a very little trace.

I've heard spotting can happen during perimenopause and this is my first instance with it. I just didn't know if spotting should happen for a few days in a row or not. I felt like a bit of a phantom period too.......Anyone have any experience with us?

Yes. I’ve spotted for 5 months x

nh_user_915916 · January 9, 2018, 7:45pm

Yep, i ave been spotting for 2 months now - grrrrr. Just browny/red/pinky when I wipe (sorry - TMI???)

I Worry about it all the time but I've been advised its quite normal. Makes me feel so grubby though. xx

Thanks Cilla - I hope it doesn't last that long for me sad but I guess better than a full-fledged period....maybe I won't get another one...wishful thinking smile

Thanks Louise - don't worry about the TMI smile - I was going to post what you did...spotting noticeable only when I wipe. Not much -- just a little on the tp.

Hi Jane, yes it does happen I use to spot between periods sometimes I think that's when your nearing menopause,or not a full period and haves you a spotting.

nh_user_1013850 · January 9, 2018, 8:07pm

Sorry gives you spotting

anon87974465 · January 9, 2018, 8:10pm

Does anybody know if you always need a biopsy for this or do they try and solve the problem first?

nh_user_915916 · January 9, 2018, 8:38pm

I don’t think you always need a biopsy. I think they look at your gyn history and other symptoms too first. In my experience they usually smear test, swab then ultrasound first....

Phewwwwww I’m seeing a Gynea next week and freaked out at the thought of a biopsy. I’ve been spotting for 5 months with only about 8 days per month (non consecutive) no spotting days.

Thanks xx

Me too cilla. Hope all goes well for you. My ultrasound consultancy is on Monday next week so hoping all is ok. Peri makes everything such a worry 😢xxx

nh_user_1126334 · January 9, 2018, 9:28pm

Nearing menopause sounds good to me! I was figuring I must be in the last stages by going this long without a period. Everyday I remind my husband how many days since my last period as if I'm counting down to New Years smile

nh_user_1126334 · January 9, 2018, 9:31pm

Cilla and Louise - I hope all goes well at your doctor appts next week!

Yes, Peri does make things such a worry. I think it was easier when I first started getting periods!

nh_user_1013850 · January 9, 2018, 9:31pm

Jane how long have you gone with out.

nh_user_1126334 · January 9, 2018, 9:33pm

Today is day 50 since my last period. This is the first time I've gone this long. I just turned 51 last month. Maybe I'll be a "text book case" and be done at 51 smile

nh_user_1013850 · January 9, 2018, 10:54pm

They will end,mine did symptoms came back what can I do so angry..but I'm hoping in the year I feel little better.
