Hi
So pleased to have come across this forum whilst googling symptoms on the net.
I'm 45 and over the last few months, my periods have been getting closer together - average 21 days (normally 28) and some one or two this year at 17 days.
However, this month, I started bleeding a dark brown discharge on day 15 of my cycle. There have been a few dark small clots but not a heavy flow, but I do need to wear a liner. I keep thinking that my period is going to start as I'm having lower back pain and mild abdominal craps, but nothing has happened. This bleeding has now been going on 3 weeks and no sign of stopping.
I went to the doctors last week and she did a quick internal, checked my cervix which she said looked fine. I had bloods done today and she referred me for a scan.
I'm just a terrible worrier. Is this something that happens at the beginning of menopause? Is it possibly hormonal?
I just wondered if this is something that anyone else has experienced.
Thanks so much taking the time to read this
