I’m 46 and up to now haven’t noticed any peri symptoms. My periods have always been regular as clockwork.
Last week I finished my period and remember thinking it seemed lighter than usual and only maybe 3 days - I was thinking oh lucky me maybe they are going to start settling down!
Then randomly 4/5 days later when I wiped there was bright red blood, followed the next day by darker discharge which smelt a little. That cleared up for a couple of days and today I’ve had some pink tinged mucus and spotting.
I’m assuming this is peri related but just looking for some reassurance. I’m going to give the doctor a call in the morning and try and get an appointment at some point. My MiL died from uterine cancer so I know any irregular bleeding needs checking out and maybe it’s making me a little hyper sensitive.
Anyone had anything similar? I feel like I need to do some reading up on menopause I’ve been burying my head in the sand a little. All my friends talk about heavier periods and bigger gaps not stopping and starting.
Also, can anyone suggest any good cycle tracking apps? I’m trying to write what’s happening what day in my phone and it’s a bit of a mess.
