I an 47 years old, I had my periods in August. In september, I did not get my pperiods. So I went to the doctor who prescribed meprate tablets for 5 days. She had done a scan to confirm if I was pregnant and she said I was not. I got my periods around the 11th October. It lasted for 3 days. After that it was spotting everyday with the intensity coming down. Then again last week i visited my doctor, she did a scan once again. She said nothing to wrory and that it is normal, and that it will stop. It almost stopped when yesterday I had a bad cold and cough, was sneezing very badly. The again it has started to spot. Is thsi natural. Is thsi perimenopause?
