I haven't had a period since August last year and I was thinking I'm finally over menopause but two or three weeks ago I started getting IBS symptoms (which I thought were due to the flu vaccine) and two weeks ago I had that pressure in the pelvis which I used to get midway through my cycle and a clear discharge so I thocan that could I be expecting my period ?! And Lo and behold yesterday when I was wiping there was a brownish pink tinge and I have all the symptoms of a period although it hasn't started to flow yet.... went to see this horrible GP because my usual one was away she said it is normal at my age but she did a Pap smear because I'm due for one and she requested a transvaginal ultrasound .... I'm seeing my regular GP when she comes back from leave this month butmy question to all you menopausal women : has this happened to you? No periods for a long time then it starts again??
