Menopause periods (a bit graphic)

Hello! I’m 51 years old currently going through pre-menopause. I finally got my period after two months, and it’s been a weird one. I won’t stain my pads but, during my first days when I would wipe it would be full of blood and blood clots, sometimes the same for the toilet. I was suppose to finish on the 27th (I started on the 21st) my flow has been lighter, although I still get those little blood clots, and I was wondering if this is normal for someone going through menopause? Any advice? Or similar experiences?
