Hello All-
I am new to this forum.
I am 50 years old and the last couple of years has seen my cycle shorten from 26 days to anywhere between 21-24 days. Periods are much heavier with significant clots and can last a few days longer than the usual 5 I have always had.
My last period has gone haywire. I began on day 23 (July 22)
and started light…. Had one incredibly heavy day and then it seemed to stop in its tracks on day 4. What followed by 6 days of something between spotting and a light flow. Everything between brown, light pink and back to bright red. Heavy flow began after the 6 days of spotting and still continues. Todays marks day 17 of this endless period with no end in sight.
Is this a normal feature of perimenopause? I’m very worried.
I do have a dr appointment next week to discuss but looking for any insight or similar experiences to keep my anxiety at bay between now and then!
Thank you….
