    Should I be concerned?
    Hello all! I'm a bit concerned and curious. I am 40 yrs old and have always had a relatively normal, regular 21 day cycle with periods lasting about 4-5 days. The last couple of months they have come early/late and lasted longer than normal. This month it was a couple days longer, then I stopped completely for a day then started again with the color of blood looking different. It is brighter than usual and almost like a real bleeding vs period bleeding. Does this sound normal?

    You may be entering menopause, which is why your period is being affected. Call your doctor to confirm anything.

    Yes, check with your doctor... beside possible menopause, there are a number of conditions that tend to show up more in the 40's which can cause unusual bleeding.
