I've had a very odd time with my usually very regular cycle for the last couple of months. Firstly I skipped a period, which I put down to stress, because I was stressed to the point of panic attacks.
Then this month my period was late, and started with a week of spotting then dark blood + a bit of mucus. Finally it started on Friday, but ever since then it has been mostly blood with very little gunk (apart from one round chunk the size of a 50p that I saw in the toilet). It stops, then starts again with more strong pains. No sign of stopping yet, and it feels a lot like an early miscarriage to me (I've had three before, but much later on)
I did wonder before this whether I might be pregnant (had slight nausea, much fuller boobs, breathlessness) but then google tells me these might be signs of the perimenopause too so I have no idea at all. Oh, and I'm 46.
So should I got and see a doctor, or just sit it out and decide that it's my age?

Menopause
Is this perimenopause or a m/c?
