Hi, really struggling with this one. Women's health thread is very quiet so thought would try this one. I'm 39 so perhaps it is linked to perimenopause who knows.

A few months back I started with irregular periods which have settled into a pattern. One very heavy period with spotting (or pink discharge) for a week which pretty much runs to the end of the cycle. It's very short so 18 days. Then next cycle is very long, 35 days. This longer cycle starts with a regular amount of bleeding, no spotting after and then goes again into a heavy period and 18 day cycle again.

GP has been fairly helpful, smear is find, blood tests fine although low iron. Any ideas out there?

I'll keep going back and may ask for referral but they're taking forever.

Two cycles at a time is driving me a bit crazy, especially as I don't know why!
