i have experienced the same problem. my doctor says it's normal. so no worries! but if it is bothersome for you, you can always have it checked.

the same kind of thing happened to me 2 years ago. i had a thorough check-up with my my gyne and she says that i don't have anything to worry about cause it's totally normal.

agree with all of the above replies. but there's one thing that you need to worry--- getting pregnant!

anything can happen around menopause but still normal. best thing to do is to "expect the unexpected".

someone told me to see a gynecologists if happened after 6 months. another one told me that if your period stops for a year and starts up again, you should consult a doctor. anyone knows if these things are true?

hmmmmm... i don't think so. majority say it's normal so i guess i have to stick with that. as long as it feels like a real period then there's no reason to worry
about.

Thanks to everyone for their replies. I did visit my G.P. She said that post menopausal bleeding should not be ignored and said it needed checking. However she said that it was probably due to being on HRT, but if it happens again to go straight back when they would investigate further.

I suspect this is probably due to you starting the HRT and this is possibly an expected withdrawal bleed.
