Long story short, I was having few and far between periods when I went on HRT for about a year. On the HRT, I had scheduled monthly bleeds. I quit HRT in January, had a final withdrawal bleed immediately upon stopping, then a month later had a tiny bit of staining one day, not even really spotting. Nothing since February. My last natural period was I think December 2015, just before starting HRT, so I don't know if I should be post menopause at this point, though my FSH levels that year indicated I was.
Now I've been having some stained discharge for a few days, mostly only when I wipe, some brown, some pink, some red. I'm not even needing a pantiliner. I did have a migraine last week, and I recall breast tenderness a few days ago. I feel sort of crampy, not terribly painful, and a fullness. Basically, it feels like a period. But I'm not really bleeding. If it would just come on a full period I wouldn't worry so much, though I would still be shattered as I thought I was finally getting past this. I've worked myself into a real panic over this, convinced it's cancer or something. And if it's not that then that all the chaos from before will return. I'm also anxious about the thought of dealing with investigations. My doctor is great but I know I'll have to go to the gynecologist group for this and I've had bad experiences in the past. The gynecologists are actually great too, but getting appointments and results are a nightmare. I'm sure it'll be months before I get answers if even a first appointment.
So, anyone have a period after you thought it was all over that only amounted to light staining?
