Is it possible to bleed for a day, or a few days, in between having your periods? I am 50 years old, and I still have normal periods. Last month, I suddenly lost some blood for just one day, and this month, two weeks after my last period, I've had two days of losing blood. Is this normal? Has my menopause started?

This is a very common scenario as the menopause approaches, and can go on for some time before your periods stop for good.

However, if this does continue or your periods start get really heavy, then it is best to see your doctor.

They can also test your hormone levels and that will give you a better idea of what is happening.
