I have had some bleeding today and yesterday. It's brown more then red. Am around middle of my cycle, but it's hard to be precise as my period takes ages to get going (spotting for days before it starts) so hard to pinpoint day one.
I'm almost 44. Smears up to date. Have copper non hormonal coil. Periods regular but lots of spotting before they get going, and afterwards too- so I bleed for quite a long while with only a few days of heavier bleeding.
I posted about this in chat and a few people suggested maybe it could be related to the perimenopause. I'm not aware of having any particular menopausal symptoms such as hot flushes but having had a quick google I do suffer with brain fog, low libido and I sometimes feel unreasonably wound up by small things- I have to be honest though and say I've had a tendency to be like this other than maybe the grumpiness for most of my life!
I'm terrified. I will go to GP on Monday but in meantime if anyone could give any words of wisdom or comfort I'd be so grateful. I am usually more stoic than this but have had a tough few months and this seems to have tipped me over into terrified.
