Hi Ladies
I'm 53yrs young  normally regular 28/32 days but in June went 62 days ! In those days I felt wonderful like a new woman  . My only symptoms have been joint pain and a few other little niggles, no hot flushes.The only thing I take is Evening Primrose oil regularly for around 15yrs due to sore boobs ( did read that it can help with hot flushes so maybe that's why I dont get any)
For as long as I can remember I've always suffered with heavy bleeding and never taken anything to curb it ( did try a coil but didn't get on with it )
Since going 62 days without a period I'm now suffering and seem to be having a periods every week and these last few days have been really heavy and had to get up every 2 hours last night with a lot of bleeding with clots,thankfully lighter this morning. I have noticed that I've always had heavier periods in the Summer      
So I have a Dr's appointment soon but just wondered how long can this irregular bleeding go on for ...months ? years ? or just disappear !  I feel if this is going to carry on for a long time I'll need some type of intervention to stop or ease periods . Thanks for reading x

It varies a lot from 1 woman to another. I never had heavy periods (except for just 1 which lasted a fortnight). Mine gradually became shorter and lighter until they only lasted 2/3 days instead of 6 and less frequent so that they were 7-8 months apart. Finally stopped at 51 or 52.

Mine waxed and waned for 2/3 years and I knew it was The Change so wasn't bothered.  Sometimes I would miss several then get 'normal' bleeds etc..  Don't be surprised if you get a muddy brown discharge sometimes, I would find that occasionally but no red blood  .  Suddenly in 2002 I realised that I hadn't had a period for several months and they had stopped ... didn't stop carrying protection for 5 years though
