Is spotting common during the perimenopause? Yes, this is one of the scenarios that can happen. You may find that you get a period one month, the next month you get spotting instead of a period. You may find you get spotting in between a period. And normally this is nothing to worry about. It's just the way your hormonal balance is changing as you approach the menopause.

However, once your periods have stopped, if you then start to get spotting on a regular basis, especially if it's been more than 2 years since you had your last period, it's always wise to get this checked by your doctor.

Other issues such as fibroids, polyps or cysts, or even a prolapse can trigger bleeding like this, so it's always best to double-check first.
