Hi there,
I hope someone can help put my mind at rest, firstly I suffer from health anxiety so everything is cancer in my world.
So this is my problem, 2 months ago i was 4 days late, didn't think nothing of it , then last month 6 to 7 days before my actual period I started spotting, that month I hadn't had the mid cycle spotting which I have been getting for the past year, so the spotting turned into my period which lasted 7 days ( normal for me) so I stopped bleeding on the Sunday had no spotting until the following Saturday, which worked out to mid cycle spotting, it only happened for 1 day but since then I have had pin**** bits of blood here and there, I am 5 days away from my period and its no way near as bad as last month the blood is bearly there I problably wouldn't notice it if I wasn't looking( have become very obsessed), I also have had in the past night sweat which have subsided now, brain fog, disturbed sleep( waking 5 or 6 times a night) back and joint pain, apparently snappiness( I don't see it myself) I'm 44 have had a clear smear in the last ten months, what I want to know are these common symptoms of perimenopause the bleeding mainly as this is reall y freaking me out, I am convinced I have endometrial cancer.
Anyway any advice would be welcomed many thanks
