A member asked:
I'm 51 and am getting menses every 5 months twice a month, could i be at the start of my premenopausal ? i get no pains but much heavier period?

Perimenopause: Is likely, but you should go see your doctor to be sure. The periods every 5 month is fine (perimenopause as you say), but the bleeding twice a month could be a concern.
