I am 47 yrd old and for past 2 years have been on the menopause trail with dysfunctional perimeno bleeding. 2 years ago I suddenly missed periods going 2-3 months then I would either get very very heavy long period lasting about 10 days or I would start spotting and bleeding slightly in a three day cycle that went on for 4-6 weeks. I went to gyny and had all the tests - D&C, hysteroscopy and biopsy and ultrasound and blood tests and all was normal and gyny said it was just my peri wonky hormones. I had option of coil or womb out or live with it. I said I wouls see how it went!
I then had 6 months of normal periods before starting the missed ones again. I have recently gone 4 months period free:D which was wonderful then a month ago started with the spotting and slight bleeding - once again I am into a three day cycle with the bleeding increasing slightly until someitime on day three for a couple of hours I bleed like a normal period then it all stops again for half a day and off we go again.
I had an ultrasound of pelvis just 3 weeks before all this started again and everything was normal then.
I saw my GP last week and she said not to worry - I have had this before and there was nothing sinister. BUT I am now worrying I may be getting aneamic even though I have rosy red cheeks! and last time around I didn't get aneamic at all. I am panicking about what to do if it keeps on going for weeks and weeks more - do I ask to go back to gyny but don't really want the horrible tests again.
I would love to get rid of my womb but they can't do that without me being there:mad: hoho and a serious operation would scare me terribly.
Just wondered if there is anyone else on here who has this sort of problem.
