Started weights and .....

[Boldstreet]

In my mid 50's and have just started strength training...after every session I have a small period. Its very light and needs a panty liner.. but has anyone else had this?

No, this has never happened to me. I am a similar age to you and have had intermittent bleeds due to menopause, but never, ever linked to strength training and I lift heavy weights at least twice a week. You should get medical advice ASAP.

This is def not normal...you need to get it checked out by your Gp and maybe stop weight training until you do.

Unexplained / unexpected bleeding should always investigated. Book a GP appointment OP

I am not post menopause but hadn't had a period for several months.

I will book an appointment in the week

Thanks

Contacted my GP. Just waiting to hear back. I did a Hiit session this morning and spotted again afterwards. Feel a tad anxious but thank you to for your replies.

I don't get spotting but I do produce more discharge after strenuous exercise.

Like you, I am not quite officially menopausal at the moment but my periods are very sporadic.

I think I remember someone in the Run Mummy Run group on Facebook having this a few years ago and they contacted their GP and it was nothing to worry about but I can't remember what it caused it.

Thanks...have a telephone appointment in two weeks. Best I could get.

It's definitely something women lifters experience. Not to say it's ok or not ok, but you're not alone for sure

Oh thanks..thats reassuring

I've experienced this after HIIT training, can't say if it's normal or not but never asked anyone.
