Have written before ( July this year) about my awful periods, but this past week has been weird and just posting to see if anyone else has had this. I am 52 and was sterilised when i was 34, so haven;t had a coil fitted or anything like that.
Periods have been irregular for a few years, the one back in July was awful and really heavy - i am low in iron, but a blood test just showed me to be a few points down and this 'normal for me' no further action needed and i take iron tablets i buy myself. Had nothing show up until early last week but I am only showing blood ( light coloured blood rarely dark) when i go to toilet to pass urine. It shows up on the loo paper , but there isnt anything 'showing' on the protection i wear ( not tampons) and it has been this way for days and days. Its so odd for me to have this ( never happened before) I am not on any medication or anything and a quick google just brought up a lot of old threads ( not mumsnet ones) where women thought they might be pregnant! I am sure that i am not that ( not dtd in 5 weeks or maybe longer) plus i am 52. Dont want to bother the doctors ( hard to get an appointment anyway) I am moody and get really sore chest, tired sometimes then have a few weeks when i just cant sleep , the odd hot flush, foggy heads etc, but nothing that i cant deal with normally. Just wondered if anyone else has had this , or any advice? thanks
