To ask if it's normal to have spotting in peri?

[bellav]

I am 46 and my cycles have been changing for the past few years.

This month was a lot lighter than usual but I have continued spotting a little and still am on day 15. Usually this ends by day 8 at the latest.

Is this just wacky hormones? Smear tests are up to date and the volume of blood is tiny so not annoying or risking anemia. I am just worried.

Sounds like peri to me, but any changes should be checked.

I don't know to be honest. I have spotting but a few days before my period not afterwards. I mentioned it to a nurse and she said it was peri. I would mention it to someone just to put your mind at ease.

I am just wondering if it's something to wait a few cycles on. It's only a tiny amount and this is the first time. I thought spotting was quite normal in peri.
