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

3

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 but I guess better than a full-fledged period....maybe I won't get another one...wishful thinking

5

Thanks Louise - don't worry about the TMI - 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.

Sorry gives you spotting

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

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

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

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!

15

Jane how long have you gone with out.

16

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

17

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.
