Maybe: You can expect changes in your period as menopause approaches and if your cycle lengthens your period can become heavier because you had more time for the lining to grow but other things can also cause this. You need a full history, exam, and appropriate testing to be able to say whether your very heavy, bright red period is normal or not. Hope this helps.
