My periods were regular until December 2022, when they suddenly stopped. I'm not sure that it was menopause, as I just had major surgery and my immune system went down (including warts for the first time - literally I'd been dealing with children with them for years and never succumbed until surgery and they're still here).
In April 23 I had a period, followed by another, then they became very irregular - in fact I'd say they stopped as it was just a bit of pink on a toilet roll for less than a day.
In April 24 I was given Evorel Sequi, the random pink mucus occurred randomly occurred,
In December I was changed to Evorel Conti as I'm too old for Sequi. She said the mucus didn't count as a period, as it was very scarce, so I'm classed as post-menopausal.
I've had no pink mucus since changing to the continuous HRT.
I had really bad insomnia this week (worse than usual, literal no sleep at all), itchy legs in bed, ulcers all over the inside of my cheeks, migraines, worsening of asthma - then my period started. A proper period. Bright red blood that is heavy enough to leak through sanpro, feeling sick and really bad cramps.
I'm guessing it's nothing to worry about, as I did have the ulcers, asthma, migraines, etc, plus I suffered terribly with cramps, sickness and migraines during my periods, which is exactly like before.
We're away next week, so I guess I just want reassurance, as I was told to contact GP urgently for bleeding after 6 months, and this is, but it is 100% a period.
I'm 55.5. My mum had her last period at 51 and my sister at 48.
