Spotting and mucous discharge

I have been having short, light cycles and now suddenly am having a very long one. That is, if I don’t count spotting and so much mucous discharge.  Has anyone else had discoloured mucous discharge (sometimes abit of blood tinged or dark coloured. Sometimes just a pale yellow???  I’m puzzled cause I thought women have issues with dryness in this season and suddenly I have all this mucous.  What’s going on???  

I’m 47 btw. 

Hi Sandra. I'm turning 50 in December. No period since October of last year. About 2 years ago, my cycles became spuratic. I didn't realize it was peri menopause at that time, and now I believe I was going through it a couple of years before that. Of ALL the symptoms a woman can have, vaginal dryness is the ONLY one I don't have yet. I experienced what you describe. Sounds like peri. Currently awaiting bloodwork results from my gyn, and hopefully some relief from this dreadful time in life! Hope this helps. Best of luck to you!☺

Yes I have had all that in the past, I'm 50. I figure as long as there is no odor and itching, I don't worry about it.

Thank you so much. It seemed weird because more women complain of dryness which I have not experienced. But it’s so good to hear other women’s experiences.
