So am I in menopause or not (am now 47)? And if I do have any bleeding is it a sign of something sinister or just a my periods coming back? Sorry Tonya, I know you can't answer my questions, just venting my frustration. I really wish there was some sort of screening. All this makes me very uneasy. Janet.
