I got my period yesterday and so far it's lighter than normal. Bright red but on the TP, it looks like a conbination of bright red and brownish red. Could this be a sign of menopause? I'm 43 and early menopause runs in my family.

Thank you,

Usually menopause skips cycles or you don't have one for a long time.
Also, hot flashes, mood swings (see other posts on this).

Yours sounds like fibroids or miscarriage. You may want to see a doctor.
