I'm 47 and have been fairly regular as far as periods go with them coming earlier over the last year but still regular. I've had plenty of other problems over the last year with possible interstitial cystitis and vulvodynia which involved MRI, vag. Ultrasound, and blood tests. Now this month I spotted between period with slight cramping durin middle and now am cramping with only slight bleeding. I have scheduled a doctor appt but am very scared. My hormones were ok in September could this still be peri or something else? definitely not preg
