My understanding is that menopause is classed as a ‘done deal’ once you have been 12 months without a period. My body messed me around for several years before deciding to call it a day - I would get to 11 months or so and then another period would appear! Sometimes normal-type bleeding, sometimes sluggish and dark. So I would say what you are experiencing is pretty normal in my (non-medical) experience.
Having said that, any kind of bleeding, once you have reached the glorious sunlit uplands of proper menopause, should be treated as abnormal and a potentially a cause for concern and you should consult a doctor. And of course, if you are worried now then do see a doctor.
