I am 48 and perimenopausal. My last period was august last year . I then had the of light one that lasted 1-2 day very light pink . Then I had one that lasted 24 hours in Feb and March. Dry brown blood not much at all. I started to feel better. Hot flushes started to calm down, my anxiety etc also. However the heat wave and 6 weeks holidays has made me awful. I cannot cope with the heat. My anxiety in the car and with most things is so bad . I really felt my period was coming also. The pre period pain and in boobs. Face heating up, sweaty arm pits. Wnet to the toilet and when I wiped was very light brown dry not that noticeable . Is this normal ?

I didn’t want to read and run, I have no helpful info, but wanted to say I hope you feel better soon. I’m struggling with perimenopausal anxiety too.

I am ok for months then it creeps up again. Hope you are ok too x

It could be part of perimenopause, as periods and symptoms can be really unpredictable during this stage. I’d mention the changes and spotting to your GP though, just to put your mind at ease.
