I'm 55 and have always had very heavy periods with lots of clots but they started changing at the beginning of 2020. They would last forever. I thought I was dying. My last period was at the end of July so I thought I've entered into menopause, Great! But lately, I've been having a lot of lower back pain and now yesterday I started to have cramping pain in the pelvic area mostly on my right side. Now I woke up to light bleeding or spotting. It's mostly light red/pink. I'm freaking out!! Is this a period or is this something more serious? my first worry is Cancer I'm also terrified of seeing doctors. haven't been in years.
I've always had lower back pains and pelvic pain mostly on my right side on and off for years too but it always came and went so I never worried about it until now. So scared
