I'm going through peri menopause and having periods more often than normal, is that normal?

Ans: Irregular bleeding is not abnormal. Most likely not full periods. May go on for some time. May skip periods for months and then bleed again. After one year and one day without a period you are menapausal

Perimenopause: Irregular periods are common leading up to menopause. If they are heavy with clots and pain it is advisable to see your doctor for a check up . Make sure your Pap smear is up,to date also as cervical problems can cause irregular bleeding.

Perimenopause: Your symptoms are an inconvenience but is a normal occurrence. This is because as you approach menopause the number of eggs in the ovary decreases and so does the hormone oestrogen that these eggs make. The body tries to compensate by producing a hormone called FSH to drive oestrogen production which speeds up your menstrual cycle and you will have frequent periods.

Perimenopase: Average age of menopause is around 54 and women can have variation in periods 5 yrs around that time ranging from heavy to light periods or having periods more often or less often . But in saying that any change in periods needs to followed up with General practitioner to rule out sinister causes like cancer of uterus and once all investigations come back normal it would be labelled as normal .

Perimenopause: The climacteric, menopausal transition stage, or perimenopause, is the period of change leading up to the last period. The menopause itself is a retrospective diagnosis of the time when menstruation permanently ceases. It can only be defined with certainty after twelve months' spontaneous amenorrhoea.The cycle may lengthen to many months or shorten to 2-3 weeks.http://patient.info/doctor/menopause-and-its-management

Irregular: Yes, irregular, frequent, delayed, missed periods are all varying signs of menopause as the body learns to cope with the hormonal changes. There is usually no need to be concerned

Likely: I assume you are asking for someone else. It will be irregular till they stop but if prolonged, ie several months, or heavy this may be a sign that there is something wrong and you would need to see your doctor.

Yes: peri menopause is change in level of female hormones and that might cause the period to go either side
