Women only.?

Question

I just turned 40 and just had a normal annual exam, my first mamo., etc. But last mo. and now this mo., my period is a lot longer then usual, last mo.it lasted a little over 3 wks, this mo., it's on it's 2nd wk., it's not heavy very light, no pain. I've told my doctor all this but she says that I'm probably fine but would only worry if it gets heavy and doesn't stop, then and only then she'd run test to check. Is this normal, is this something that happens when you get older, my hormones are normal but yet my cycle isn't. I also was on cholmid(fertility drug) a year ao, several cycles, long time ago, I've heard from other women that can change your cycle and it can take a long to get back to normal.
Confused?

Answer 1

You are certainly the right age to begin perimenopause and irregullar periods(with normal levels) are not unusual..you are fine this is just the way it works...
