I have recently been having problems with my periods which i thought was the menopause . Heavy periods on and off for a couple of years but I've always been very regular. I then had six weeks of bleeding every 2 weeks , then September I had another week of brown bleeding and since then I've had no periods. 

I have arthritis in my hips and having putting a lot of pains/aches in my lower back down to that.

Doctors arranged bloods which came back normal (which I assume means its not the menopause) and has arranged an ultrasound, still waiting for an appointment. Reading some of  posts on here I'm starting to panic on what's actually causing this,  especially since I've starting bloating up alot as soon as I eat or drink anything (I look pregnant sometimes).

Anyone else having these problems?

I'm hoping it's just a glitch with my body and it will sort itself out
