Beginner to this and shamefully a bit ignorant on what to do. Possibly in peri menopause I guess as am just 50, had a couple of months without periods until last week when am having heaviest ever which doesn’t seem to be stopping a week later.
Regularly having to change clothes etc. feel generally sore back and pelvis and a tiny bit bloated
so questions are what if anything can I /should I do, or just wait it out and see what happens & where can I find good info and what I need to be doing, taking etc please.

Hi, does sound like Peri do you have any other symptoms? You could go GP and ask to trial HRT. If you want to have a think if you would prefer gel, spray or patches and have a look on the balance app loads of info there, also menopause matters x

Thanks @Christine0708 Is it normal to have pain and heavy & longer periods then? Will patches or other treatments resolve these symptoms. The last week has not been pleasant at all!
Will check out those websites- thank you very much

Yes that happens to a lot of us, or longer cycles but heavier periods.
