I am 2 weeks away from my 48th birthday, I have started having irregular periods and spotting since earlier this year for the first time in my life. April of this year, I gained 12 pounds mysteriously. I only eat fruit, veggies, eggs, seafood, & chicken breast. No fried foods. This month I have had heavy spotting & light bleeding with cramps, (excruciating at times) for 2 weeks. I m getting concerned.
