Hello everyone, I hope everyone is well and coping with lockdown. I know everyone's experience of periods is different but I'm often confused about what warrants a doctors appointment. I am 50 and still having periods, usually every 21 - 24 days and sometimes 28 days. They are mostly fairly normal but slightly clotty. My last period I noticed a little brownish stain on my underwear a day or 2 after it finished. I think it was a day after sex but not sure. I had a little brownish (like old blood) a few days on and off in the run up to my actual period. These were just one offs, not the whole day. Also a one off of clear mucus tinged with blood a few days before it started. I am wondering if I should tell my doctor or does this seem normal. The staining was not enough to even warrant an s.t. and barely even a panty liner. It was very scant.
I've been to my doctor with high bp and really don't want to waste any doctors time especially now. I also don't want to be sent for unnecessary tests 'just incase'. Opinions welcome just don't scare me lol. Anxiety is very high.
