[Sarai]

Silly me I am beginning to panic. I'm 51 and still having periods, though markedly different over the months. This month around what would have been ovulation time the discharge was like mucky with old blood, I guess left behind due to internal protection being too dry, sorry if TMI. This has gone on over a week and getting less each day, like i imagine spotting to be, wasn't too worried thought anything is possible at my age. Now I think I have thrush, so bought the treatment and cos it says see GP if blood in discharge, panic panic.
I know far too much, but I don't have bloating, no unusual abdo pain and I had a clear smear in May.
Any advice.

Hi Sarai, I'm sure it is nothing worse than periods going slightly whacky - I was getting all sorts of out of sync bleeds before my periods finally stopped last year   Why don't you go to see your gp just to put your mind at rest?  I know from personal experience that it  is far worse to do nothing and then just worry about it!

Stop using internal protection.  Stick to pads and change often.  That reduces the incidence of itchyness.
