Hi I've come here really to see if anyone has had this symptoms and for some reassurance. I'm 45 and for the last 3 years my periods are very on and off, I can go for 5 months with nothing then regular for 3 months. I know this is normal (my mum went through an early menopause). However, since March I haven't had a "normal period" and have been spotting, so it started out maybe one day in a fortnight but has slowly got closer together to the point now where I have been bleeding for over 4 weeks. It's very light, only one sanitary pad per day. I have very very mild cramping at times. I did have a telephone consultation with my GP the other day who said she thinks it's related to peri menopause, all my smears are up to date and I had a cervical polyp removed last year so obviously nothing showed up on camera in my cervix. Despite this because it's a new symptom for me I'm obviously stressing that it might be something else.
yup!! I’m going through the same thing… And from everything I’ve read and heard it is pretty typical for perimenopause 
45 here, too. I just had two heavy periods two weeks apart with spotting in between. So, I was bleeding for 24 days straight with 10 of those days being heavy. I went to the obgyn and she scheduled an internal ultrasound which is next week. I have not skipped any periods yet and this is the first time I have ever had periods that close together before.
Almost same here..normal
periods but spotting in between for the past 5-6 months. Sometimes red, sometimes dark brown. Periods are getting closer together too. Im 44 so im thinking hormonal also..
Thanks to everyone, you make me feel better. I’m still bleeding, lightly but still there. Had started to convince myself I “feel” something heavy in my womb, paranoia at it’s best!!!
