[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have an doc appointment Monday, but am worried about an onset of heavy bleeding that started last week. I’m 51, and was confirmed in menopause about two months ago. My GYN doc suggested I remove my IUD at that time, which I did. With the IUD I still had occasional spotting even up to my labs that confirmed I was in menopause. But no regular periods.

Now on day 5 of very heavy bleeding. Going though pad after pad. I’m not feeling light headed so I’m going to wait for my appointment Monday vs the ER. But worried.

Anyone experience anything similar? What was the diagnosis? I’ve never had fibroids and have not had any uterine issues. Googling is not reassuring me. [/quote]

So you have been without a cycle for 12 consecutive months? If not it's not as alarming. Numerous doctors I've seen for perimenopausal gushing unconcerned. Hope that's the case for you. Keep us posted.

OP here - while still using the IUD I had occasional spotting. But it was truly spotting and it was usually gone within 36 hours. My doc said I was definitively menopausal - not perimenopausal. Not sure if that makes a difference but I was essentially told not to expect any periods and could therefore remove the IUD.[/quote]
