pre-menopause

I am 41 years old, and for a couple of months now my periods have been all different.  One month 4 days, which is normal for me, first day is usually very heavy and uncomfortable, then lighter and lighter days 2 and 3 then day 4 just clean out, then done...then I won't have my next one for like 5 weeks.  they seem to be getting farther apart.  And now this one, which I may add has been going for 8 days now...not normal at all for me..I have had light spotting, brown color, and 6 days, then bleeding now normal coloring for 2 days...Any ideas what is going on? Am I pre-menopausal?

that definitely sounds like pre-menopause. i have gone through this myself and it is completely normal. i had some concerns at first but i was reassured by my doctor.

Sounds like you may be. I would give it another couple of months to see what happens, but this is the typical irregularity known to happen in pre/peri-menopause.
