Hello
 I stared the peri menopause in 2015 at the age of 46. The only symptoms I had were nights sweats some hot flushes and missing periods. I had 8 months without a period. Then they were more regular. I had blood tests and they indicated that I was in the peri menopause. Last month I had a period then I had another a week after this was heavy then I had some more bleeding. I had another blood test during the second period and the results came back saying My hormone level are on in the peri menopause range. My thiroid level was raised so my doctors wants to do another blood test in a couple of months. I had a small fibroid detected on a scan a couple of years ago. My doctor made me an appointment with the gynaecologist to check if this bleeding is the fibroid.

Do consider HRT - it should help. DG x
