Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
It appears that you are going in for menopause.
Many of them experience that the periods do not stop abruptly.
Temporary cessation of periods with intermittent spotting is experienced by many before complete cessation of the periods.
However, it would be better to get yourself evaluated once by consulting Gynecologist to make sure that the spotting is not due to any other cause like infection or cancer.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
