Hello I am new to the forum and find myself here after a very worrying week. I am 54 and three years period. Free after a relatively smooth menopause. Prior to the menopause I had heavy periods every two weeks and then it was as though somebody had just switched off the tap and they stopped. My worry all start at approximately 2 to 3 weeks ago when I was experiencing lots of a reflex which eventually subsided.This was followed by extremely sore breasts, needing to go to the loo for a number two a lot more frequently for two or three days, feeling very emotional and crying and anxiety high. I joked and said to my mum if I didn’t know better I would think I was getting a period as everything was textbook and sure enough the Wednesday morning I woke to a period. I was shocked. I had light bleeding for a day also and then Thursday evening it came really heavy just like I used to have them. I contacted my GP and have been referred to Guiney with an appointment on Thursday coming but I am beside myself with worry. I work in a GP surgery and they seem less concerned as I have had all the period symptoms but I have read everywhere you cannot just get a period after the menopause. without an underlying reason! Anybody else had this concern. I have never so much as had a stomach pain, cramps, spotting or anything until now. Thankyou
