Although it seems odd to get a period one year after your last, it sounds like a normal part of your transition into menopause.
Several years before menopause a woman's periods are likely to become disrupted in timing, amount of flow, clotting and pain. This is called the 'perimenopausal' stage.
You can see your doctor for blood tests that will reveal your body's level of FSH, the hormone that stimulates ovulation and your menstrual cycle. In menopause, your level of FSH will increase to a much higher level. This test can set your mind at rest that all is well with your body's transition into menopause.
