Hi OP I had this 3 years ago, my GP said it warranted further investigations and I paid for a private gynaecologist as I was so worried and the potential wait was lengthy. She said it was unlikely to be related to perimenopause and I had a ultrasound, MRI, and then a hysteroscopy. Nothing was found.
I have sometimes wondered if she saw a very scared woman coming for a number of reasons, and it cost me a lot of money.
It started again a few months ago. I called my GP expecting her to say not to worry, but she referred me for tests again. I think any bleeding outside of one's normal cycle is seen as needing to be checked out as a precaution.
I've had another ultrasound and am awaiting a gynae appointment. However I've been told there are no appointments available and I may have a very lengthy wait. I can't afford to go private this time so I'll need to wait.
I have read that this type of bleeding can be related to the perimenopause, but no medical professionals seem to consider it a likely possibility.
I'm 45, my periods are fairly regular, I have a copper coil. I'm unsure if I'm in perimenopause or not. I certainly have mood swings, foggy brain, tiredness and aches- but all of this could be attributed to life in general 🤷🏻♀️.
