Hello everyone! It's been quite some time since I posted here, and since then, I believe I'm finally heading more closely to menopause. I just turned 52 and my periods have still been regular, up until last month. After two and a half weeks of cramps I finally got my period, which was two weeks late. Just today, I noticed some light pink/brownish spotting and I am mid-cycle. I had my annual exam and Pap smear about one week ago and all was normal. Is this spotting normal and to be expected? This is my first time experiencing the same, and it has me a bit worried. Of course, I'm leaving for a vacation tomorrow and know I won't be able to relax now, worrying over this! Thanks for any insight or words of reassurance!!
