How long does this go on for!!
« on: December 16, 2015, 12:53:23 PM »

Still having periods that last 2 weeks from start to finish. Starts off pinkish/brownish for about 5 - 6 days then 2 days of quite heavy red blood and then another week to tail off. Anyone else  had this in Peri and if so how long did it go on for?

Hurdity posted this link in March this year. It is quite a read if you're feeling biochemically minded. :o

If you scroll to page 5 and have a look at the table, it might give you an idea... but only an idea.

I've been having the longer periods, once for 7 weeks, for almost 2 years now.  Then my last one was very light and only lasted 4 days, am hoping it is starting to stop now.  They can be very tiring can't they?

Thanks ladies. Toffeecushion mine too have been like this now for a couple of years and like you say it does get tiring. Wish they would just stop  :(

Before starting HRT in April my periods had dwindled to just 3 days, and mainly brown spotting. Even ince in HRT the withdrawal bleeds were very light.

I have had periods lasting a long time like that too. Now they are much lighter and more like brown spotting really- there is hope!
