Had a scan a few months ago and GP told me I have a small fibroids. Two GPs tole me it is small and when I reach menopause it will shrink.
AngelaH-How long did you take your Tranexamic acid for?  Are you post menopause now?

Fibroids may cause heavy bleeding and irregular spottings too.

Tranexamic acid worked for me for about 2-3 weeks only, not really long. Yes, I am post meno now, I had Mirena for 5 years, went through peri, meno and reached post meno, Mirena was removed just only couple of weeks ago.

Hi Felicity1 

Thought I'd post to you as you're new like me and think we're similar in our periods!

I too have weeks of spotting then weeks of not, it's a real minefield isn't it? Or should that be "mind" field??? 

How are you doing? Am going to try this keeping a diary as that seems to be something that the ladies here find useful.

A drop in oestrogen may cause muscles to become lax = aches and pains.  An over the counter pain relief 30 mins prior to exercise/gardening etc. can help.

At the end of each bleed I would have a missed day followed by one of brown staining, probably due to a drop in hormones.  Normal for me so it wasn't a worry.  They comes and goes they does, in peri

Thanks ladies. 
          Few months ago GP told me my periods will be up and down, hopefully I'm nearer to  menopause. I wonder if any women are still in their 50s are in Peri?
Btw, Menopause- 12 months after a woman's last period. Do you start counting from the first day of your last period or when your last period is the last day of spotting, brown spotting? I'm confused; hope someone can be clearer with me. Thanks. Also if it starts again, some bleeding, do you have to start counting again? 
I have been keeping a diary, also still stocking up some protection just in case.  Worry about the next stage, feel I'm losing some muscles in some parts of my body, except my belly. Have noticed and read benefits of strength training for women.
