Spotting 12 Months after Last Period
« on: August 10, 2020, 06:50:44 PM »
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  ::)

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! :)

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