[quote=Anonymous]Op, this breeding sounds totally normal to me.  I hit perimenopause and was bleeding all the time pretty much.  I did have some uterine polyps they removed and it didn’t really stop the bleeding.  They also tried progesterone which works for some women but didn’t really work for me.  I ended up with an IUD that pretty much stopped it.

I think our culture has this fake view that women can continue to live their best life in the 40s and 50s just like in their 20s and 30s and then it makes you feel like a freak when you experience natural effects of aging, which include — for many women— frequent incontience, random bleeding that can be very heavy, exhaustion, and other symptoms.  Of course, see your doctor to find out what relief you can get but you shouldn’t feel like this is weird or alarming.  It’s super common but the media focus on “50 is the new 30” or whatever obscures what is pretty common and natural.

I’m also a lawyer.  I’ve been wearing pads pretty much every day since I was in my late 40s as I worry too much about urine leaking and potential break through bleeding.  [/quote]
