I thought I was finished with the menopause. I have not had a period for 3 years and my hot flushes stopped about 4 months ago. Today, much to my surprise, I have started to bleed again. Is this normal? I started to go through the menopause when I was 39 years old, and now I am 49.

It can happen and is sometimes brought on by stress, severe change in lifestyle/diet, or severe physical exercise.

However, it is best to get it checked out by your doctor as well.
