Short period after two years menopause/hotflashes disapear?

[Dianewest]

I'm 52 years old, and have been without a period for almost two years. I have had hot flashes for about the same period of time.  The hot flashes went away about three weeks ago, and I had a short menstral period for about two-three days.  No pain or discomfort at all during the period.  I still don't have hot flashes, though, about four weeks now.  I have an appointment with my gyn on Friday, but was wondering if this has happened to anyone else?  I also worry a little about fibroids/cancer, etc. My husband thinks I'm having sympothy for my pregant daughter, so I had a period.  I doubt that one.  I had a spasm in my back and took some Aleve for a few days/don't know if that may have brought on any slight bleeding.  I also started exercising and losing a little weight, maybe 10 pounds.  Don't know if these symptoms can happen for those things.  Little confused, although feeling really wonderful.  No hot flashes, no period, no pain.  A little worried something that doesn't show up as pain?  Any thoughts/suggestions??Thanks, Diane

Hello & SO sorry for your discomfort. I suffered terribly from hotflashes-to the point of it ruining my life! I tried hormone replacement therapy & everything from black cohosh...to anything else you can imagine. I finally found a total help in the oddest place LOL. A friend sent me to a psychic, because she felt so bad for the decline in my life! Anyway, this psychic recommended taking turmeric powder- 1/5 of a teaspoon 3 times a week. I thought, what the heck? So, every Sunday, Tuesday & Friday I faithfully took my dose {doesn't have to be exactly 1/5-as it does not have any side effects} & OMG!!!!!!! My hotflashes went down by about 80% & were much more manageable. It takes a few weeks to get into your system, so don't think it's not working until you've at least given it 2 months or so. I'd love to hear your story after trying this...it has given me back my life. BUT, I got cocky after about a yr & stopped taking this & WHOP! I got hotflashes back like a punch in the gut! Good luck & even though it seems like it's too easy an answer, what have you got to lose? Turmeric also helps in many other problems. Please give feedback so others have luck as well.

The doctor said he's give me a break this time, he thinks my hormones are fluctuating.  He said I'd have to call if it happens again.  Closed for now. Thanks,

No, haven't had a hysterectomy (yet!).  I have a doctor's appt on Friday to maybe take a biopsy.  Anyone had one of those?  My sister says it really hurts.  I feel great, no more bleeding, no more hot flashes... possibly waiting for the bomb to drop that something seriously is wrong.  Seems like I'd have some other type of symptoms if that were the case.

have you had a hysterectomy or just went through menopause? i know alot of women that have hysters , if their cervix remains it causes mini periods.
