Peri-menopausal: You may be going through menopause and are correct in stating that lack of periods for a year is definitive menopause. If you have sex, use contraception. Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex, if you have sex.

this bleeding is called postmenopausal, likely from residual hormones, androgens coverting to weak estrogens. This needs to be evaluated and discussed with your care giver. Possible need an ultrasound to measure endometrial thickness.

During perimenopause can your FSH level fluctuate in and out of menopause ranges? Mine was 53.2 but Im still having periods every few months.
