Hi, I've had a very small amount of spotting over the last few days. I'm 56 and my last period wasa year ago. I'm not on any hrt

I spoke to my doctor this morning  and I'm having swabs, smear and check up next week.

I'm worrying now. Has anyone else experienced this and was everything  OK?

Thank you

Yep.  What does your GP suspect?  All unexplained bleeding should be investigated once we stop periods, to check the womb lining .... sometimes ovaries have a final party though

Hi, doctor just said it needs checking and mentioned being referred 

Thank you for your reply

Morning.  I would ring and ask for a referral for a scan which gives you a starting point.  Let us know how you get on.

Hi there!

  I'm in the same boat as you.  I've had intermittent spotting over the last few weeks and it's been 2 years since my last period (I'm 54).  I am concerned, but I'm hoping that all is fine and it's just my hormones that are out of whack.  Glad you are getting checked

Hi CC

Have you been to see your doctor? My spotting has stopped but I feel like I'm on my period. You know that feeling in your lower tummy. Not painful though.

I am worried as the doctor seemed quite concerned 

I have a lovely smear booked for Monday & the doctor  said she'd take a look  Can't wait!! Hope you get sorted xx

Hey there,

Yep, I get the all the PMS feelings as well, the mild crampiness, sore boobs, tiredness etc.  My first bout of spotting lasted 6 days and then it stopped.  Then recently it started again but noticebly lighter than before.
I had both scans done yesterday and I should be hearing from the doctor soon.

Hope all goes well for you too!

Just posted an update in my own thread, got my scan results from my GP.

That's not normal because after 2 years without a period it's postmenopause.
