Hi

I entered memopause 3 weeks ago, after going 12 months with no periods.

However, yesterday I started spotting (pinky blood when wiping), and today it's more like a period, albeit very very light, so light I haven't needed to change a pad.

It is advised to get any post menopause bleeding investigated so I'm a bit worried as to why this has happened.

Can anyone offer any help/insight into this please?  Has it happened to anyone?

I'm not taking, and have never taken any form of hrt (I've not needed it).

Thanks

Hi VioletAquarius

I had a bleed after being postmeno for about 2 and a half years, at the time I wasn't on hrt. My gp arranged a scan and it showed everything was fine.

12 months is just a guide. I would probably speak to your GP but I doubt it’s anything to be concerned about.

I had it too a year after my last period. I went for a scan and everything was fine, jus hormonal. It's always good to contact the GP.

I agree with the above, very likely to be your own hormones but getting checked out will stop you worrying about it.

Agree with all the above.

The body doesn't consult a calendar, everyone is different, so 12 months is just a general guide. Not set in stone.

Speak to your GP?  If you are offered a scan you can put your mind at rest.

Thanks everybody, I will mention to my gp and see what they say.

12 months is a guide.  Then Nature joins in 

How do U feel otherwise?
