Long periodic periods

I have been having a period about every 3 months for awhile now, that normally would last about a week.  The last one was real light for a week, then very heavy for a week and has been light now for over 2 weeks.  Has anyone experienced this?  I have also had hot flashes and trouble sleeping.

Yes I am actually 54 and should be in menopause by my FSH level but I still get periods. I went for 4 months without one then have had a regular one for 3 months then spotting for 7 days then 21 days later very heavy period for 7 days, then two weeks later spotting so far 8 days. I am glad others have these same issues as it sounds normal.  Most seem to say you get irregular before you stop altogether. It is frustrating.
