period?

Women's health
1

Had a period 10 days ago, supposed to have one in another 10 days, just went in the bathroom and wiped......blood, a fair amount. Is that normal? I have been having perimenopause symptoms for several years and periods have been getting heavier and heavier with clots and closer together. This last one 10 days ago was 4 days late which is very unusual. And now this. I don't know if this is going to turn into a period or what. I know I have read on here that other women have had erratic cycles. I guess I am just looking for some reassurance.

If you are peri it sounds like how it was with me...a mess. I do, however, suggest you patiently and calmly, make an appt with your gynie and go to it. I didn't do that for a long time and just worried a bit for too long - stupid. Eventually my periods stopped. Best to ask the expert instead of worrying, as it will probably happen again and again, till it stops.

well I dont know what I would call it as it was erratic. Long periods, light periods, sometimes twice a month sometimes every few months... Like Kerry said aslo, go to the dr. and read up about it afterwards...

Hi DearDoe

This has happened to me too. In June I had a period, two weeks late, and lighter than the usual flooding.  Then two weeks after that spotting for about 5 days, then 6 weeks later spotting again for a few days. Nothing now for over 3 weeks.  I' m hoping this is the beginning of the end of my periods.

I did start getting night sweats and hot flushes but take sage, magnesium, D3, and passionflower and they have gone for now. Fingers crossed.

Hope your periods have disappeared too! xx

Hi yes I was exactly the same. Regular as clockwork then every 3 weeks 2 weeks etc. At the end ( I hvnt had a period in over a year) they were lasting for up to 12 - 13 days then away for 5 and back again.🙄

As suggested I wud make an appointment with ur gp. Xx

hi

a very similar thing is happening to me right now also.  Same as you, had a period, a bit later than how they were on previous months, at 34 days, then just by chance, a couple of days after it finished (7 days total, not too heavy), I noticed a slight spotting, not enough to need a pad, just when wiping.  This is now going on for 10 days, still very light, but having low cramps also.  I was thinking of seeing the doctor.  Are you having cramps too?

11

I am having long periods with slight bleeding and cramping also. I need to go back to the gyno.

12

kathryn, are you seeing the gyno soon.  I can't get an appointment soon, so if you go, could you let me know what they say?

13

Had some cramping yesterday and the day before. Have sore breasts, dreams, and difficulty sleeping like with a regular period.

14

are you going to see a doctor, I'm not sure if its normal or not?

15

I am trying to get in as soon as I can.

16

I dont think I am gonna see the dr. Right now. It seems pretty common and along with the other symptoms of my period, I think it's just hormones. It was just that one time. Aren't our periods suppose to be out of whack?

Is there a reason why you do nt want to go to a Dr? I think you should as if there us some problem, like a cyst or polyp etc that could be the reason. It could also be a fibroma (which is good to know so the Dr can see if it shrank or grew next time you go in). Please reconsider.
