Hello all. Just out of curiosity, did you have consistent or irregular periods?

For the last two months, I have been having short cycles with light bleeding and spotting on and off. Is this the transitional phase before menopause?
Changes in menstrual patterns?

@Expectation1 my periods were all over the place in peri menopause. But if you have any concerns please talk to your doctor.

Mine were very, very heavy. I had a Mirena coil fitted. It was bliss after.

Thank you both.
Hopefully I can get an appointment with my doctor.

Agony, as usual. But regular.
