I am kind of freaked out. I am a 47-year old woman who is post menopausal, I have not had a period in over a year. No spotting, no breakthrough bleeding, mild menopausal symptoms such as sleeplessness, occasional hot/warm flashes, etc. 3 weeks ago I started to feel crampy, very mild, not painful at all, but I noticed. Sometimes it feels like pre-period cramps, sometimes it feels like my body is trying to ovulate. You hear all these things about cancer and how it's not normal to have these sensations after menopause. Has anyone else had these types of sensations before who is menopausal, and should I be concerned? I went to my Dr. and asked for ultrasound which is next week. Everything scares me, I have everything gynecological double and triple checked because my mom died of ovarian cancer at 56. So I get a trans-vaginal ultrasound at least once a year, and when I had spotting during peri-m, I had it checked out right away too. My mom was always scared to go to the doctor, until it was too late for her. I am always scared, but I still go. But frankly this is really scaring me. I don't know what is going on and I feel very hormonal.
