entering menopause

I am 50yrs old. I have not had a period for almost 5 months. For the last week I have symptoms of getting a period but only a small amount of mucous mixed with blood. I have mild cramps very low in my abdomen. No breast discomfort. My tubes were tied 10 years and pregnancy test negative. Not sure if I should call the Dr.

No need to worry - This is not unusual for perimenopause when ovulations become sporadic and the menstrual cycle becomes unpredictable. Some women even get close to the 1 year mark of no periods only to have them start up again. And some have more frequent bleeding than normal. The bleeding may be heavier or lighter. So anything goes.
