Hi. I thought I was in menopause. My last full on period was at the end of February 2025 although I had a day of spotting at the end of June 2025 (not sure if this counts as my last period?) Over the last 3 weeks my hot flushes have stopped, I’ve had stringy cervical mucus and sensitive nipples. This is exactly how I would usually feel before getting my period. Lo and behold, I now have a light period. I will book a doctors appointment but is this normal? I know if you bleed after 12 months without you need to be checked but if the spotting last June counts as a period I am only at 9 months. Any comments appreciated, thanks
Hi,
I think you may still be perimenopausal. Hormones can fluctuate for months or years, causing spotting, changes in flow, and period like symptoms even after a long gap. It’s sensible to see your GP to rule out other causes and for reassurance.
My periods have been unpredictable. I’m still on this long perimenopause journey.
I hope you find answers.
