Can this be considered normal?

[LLJETO]

Hi,

I put this in Women’s Health but no specific response, so hoping this might be a better place:

I’m going through peri. Over the last two years my cycle has got shorter, with my period averaging every 24 days, with 5/6/7 days of bleeding - usually spotting, a couple of medium/heavy days then spotting again.
For info: I had a colposcopy appt in Jan due to occasional mid cycle and after sex bleeding - all was fine apart from slight erosion and some viral changes. Internal scan was fine too. I had my routine smear in June and that was normal - no more viral changes.
In August I had a period that lasted for 2 full weeks, a few days of nothing then spotting for a week. Then I had about 4 weeks without anything (so 8 weeks since the start of the long period). The next 2 were ‘normal’ (as in my new peri normal of 24 days cycle and 5 ish days of bleeding).
This time I started on 15th November and I’m still going now. What I’ve noticed with these longer periods is they just feel as if they take ages to get going and ages to get rid of the blood, if that makes sense? Like as if the whole process has just slowed down and my body can’t be bothered to make the effort. Most of the days are just light or spotting.
Is this likely to just be peri and hormonal fluctuations? I’ve no other gynae symptoms.
Thank you.

I had cervical erosion (ectropion?) that caused chronic bleeding.

So basically what youre describing was how I stopped having periods.
Maybe a sample size of 1 = normal.

Thank you! I did wonder if it was a sign things were moving on to the next stage. I suppose I just wanted to make sure it doesn’t need checking. I’m not worried or anything and as I’ve had those other checks relatively recently, with no other symptoms, I’ll probably just see how it goes.

Would you consider the coil?

I used to have the copper coil, so I’m not fazed by the idea of it, however, I previously had issues with hormonal contraception so I’m not sure it would be suitable.

Hello.
In October, my period lasted for nearly the entire month. It was not heavy, just spotting and some light bleeding on and off. Last month only had 2 days of light bleeding. It can be irritating when the chaotic periods come as they please.
I had scans last year and this year, which revealed fibroids and a few cysts; however, the doctors have not expressed any concerns.
I hope to get see my GP next month. Just to check if things are ok.

P.S. Since peri, some months my periods have lasted for two weeks.
