Spotting mid cycle during peri menopause

[Blagdoon]

Can someone please reassure me that spotting between periods is normal and not a sign of cancer? I’m freaking out. My GP says I’m in perimenopause but I’m so achy and tired I keep thinking there must be something else wrong with me. My period is due in a week and I have light brown spotting. Google says bleeding between periods is ovarian cancer.

Only if you look hard for the c-word on Google.

Random harmless vag bleeding is very common age 40-55, said my GP.

Until my periods stopped back in October (are they coming back? I don’t know) I was like this every month pretty much for about the past 3 years. Random spotting - sometimes reddish, sometimes browner. I assumed it was fairly normal this time of life as all sorts of weirdness goes on. Unless it’s particularly bad or smells ‘off’ I wouldn’t worry about it, it’s just part of the process.
mine has stopped completely since my periods stopped too - nothing whatsoever.
