I have a lot of menopausal symptoms. I didn't have a period for six months and I am currently waiting for my blood test results. I had a period last week, but it was a brown colour. Is this normal?

This is quite a common symptom on the approach to the menopause, and it can happen several times before your periods stop for good.

It is a good idea to check with your doctor, and your results should give you a better idea of what is happening.
