Wondered what was going on for the last week - night sweats, palpitations, tired etc., then started a period on Saturday - not heavy, just normal flow, but today I've suddenly got cramps.
I take Oestrogel and have a mirena, am nearly 53 and feel like I've been going through the menopause forever >:(
Anyone had this? It just feels like it's going on forever- thought I'd be stopping bleeding by now!

During the end of peri menopause (aged 50-51 ish), I had very widely spaced periods (gaps of 7-8 months). It only happened a couple of times and then they stopped completely. They were very light periods (lasting no more than 2-3 days). I wasn't on any HRT then so can't help with that.

That's reassuring to hear!! I feel like there's no end in sight at the moment!

Seems "normal" to me as far as anything can be called normal related to peri. I am hoping to be near the end of this peri nuisance (nearly 50) and have been having gaps of 3-4 months between periods over the last 1 1/2 years and then sometimes two light periods within a few weeks. The last gaps were more like 4 and 2 months, and luckily my symptoms have become less severe, not on HRT (yet). Good luck. AG
