Menopause bleeding - How Do I know

How Do I know If Changes in My Periods Are Normal Perimenopausal Symptoms or Something to Be Concerned About?
http://menopausebleeding.mymenopauseonline.com/

Irregular periods are common and normal during perimenopause. But, other conditions can cause abnormalities in menstrual bleeding. If any of the following situations apply to you, see a doctor to rule out other causes: * Your periods are very heavy, or accompanied by blood clots. * Your periods last several days longer than usual. * You spot between periods. * You experience spotting after sex. * Your periods occur closer together.

Potential causes of abnormal bleeding include hormonal imbalances, birth control pills, pregnancy, fibroids, blood clotting problems or, rarely, cancer.

How Is Perimenopause Diagnosed?

Often your doctor can make the diagnosis of perimenopause based on your symptoms. Blood tests to check hormone levels may also be beneficial but may be difficult to evaluate due to erratic fluctuations of hormones during this period. It may be more helpful to have several tests done at different times for comparison.
Can I Get Pregnant If I Am Perimenopausal?

Yes. Despite a decline in fertility during the perimenopause stage, you can still become pregnant. If you do not want to become pregnant, you should continue to use some form of birth control until you reach menopause (meaning you have gone 12 months without having your period).

For some women, getting pregnant can be difficult once they are in their late 30s to early 40s due to a decline in fertility. But, if becoming pregnant is the goal, there are fertility-enhancing treatments and techniques that can help you get pregnant.

@akuhiroshi occurrence is usually a symptom of some underlying deregulation; the causes can be very diverse but 80% of problems are usually nutritionally based in their source - try getting more calcium and let me know how that goes
