Hi ladies. Not posted for ages. So, I'm now 45, and have been officially perimenopausal for a few years. Recently, although I'm still having periods regularly, the length of the bleed has lengthened, but my cycle is slightly shorter (most months)
I'm finding bleeding can last between 8 & 15 days (1 light day at first, a couple of heavy days, a medium day and the rest light or sometimes more like spotting) and cycle length anywhere between 21 & 38 days. I've been to my GP today, who has suggested I try taking tranexemic acid towards the end of my period, to see if I can shorten the length of them.
Her other suggestion, due to my age was the Mirena coil. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts, ladies.
Hope you are all ok 😊
