Question infrequent periods

How infrequent and scarce can periods be during menopause. If you just have a scant showing every now and then would that still be considered a period?

Yes or you can call it spotting. Menopause is hard to determine these days for women who still have their uterus and ovaries. I get this at times, it's still counts as a period, unless you are having light bleeding in between periods, then it would be called spotting or breakthrough bleeding.

Re: infrequent periods

I have skipped a month or two, and have also had periods 18 days apart...


The latest was a 4 month "summer break" which wasn't so bad until I started to think what if...
