How many days before you come on your period can you have spotting?

It is perfectly normal to spot a few days before your period so dont worry!

This may be implantation bleeding.

It could still be your period. When I was 18 I got my normal period,then started spotting a few days after.(that had never happened before) Turns out,I was pregnant.So,it's either still your period,or you're pregnant.

That is called spotting. Women often spot the day before or a few days after their period.

Birth control can cause spotting between periods.

Yes. Implantation bleeding (which is what the spotting could be) often occurs around when your period is meant to be

could be take a hpt to see

Spotting is normal before your period, it's just the start of your period as the uterine lining starts to shed. You can also get spotting after your period, or mid-cycle spotting around the time of ovulation.

it telling u that u are about to start

not necessarily, it could be just left over blood your last period, but I had some brown spotting about 10 days after my last period, 7 days before my next period, and I found out I was pregnant!

what does it mean when you start spotting 6 days after your period has ended

You could be pregnant. I had brown spotting 10 days before my period was suppose to start. 5 days later I took a First Response (5 days before your missed period) and it came back positive. If you take it that early and it comes out negative, it could be a false negative. It is still best to wait 5 to 10 days after a missed period. Good luck!

Implantation bleeding = you are pregnant!

Spotting before you get a heavier flow is very normal...If you are normally like clockwork and you only have spotting and do not get a regular flo within the next 3-4 days then it is very possible that you are pregnant and that the spotting is implantation bleeding.

This is normal. There is a fall in estrogen level around ovulation, this causes this spotting. ( Usually periods start 14 days after ovulation if not fertilized.)

spotting is less than one pad of blood lasting 1-2 hours. If it lasted two days, it might have been an early period. good luck Joymaker RN

One common cause of spotting several days before a period is low progesterone. Progesterone helps to maintain the uterine lining for pregnancy, and when progesterone levels drop, the menstrual cycle occurs. Progesterone-deficient women will see spotting several days to a week before their period is due. This can affect fertility and in some cases causes miscarriage. You can discover more about spotting in recommended link above. Spotting can happen while you are pregnant, so take…

brown spotting 10 days after period is usually ovulation spotting. this occurs from the sudden drop in hormone levels.

Hi, Its not uncommon for periods to arrive 2-3 days earlier than usual. Yes the first day of your period is as soon as the bleeding starts, whether it be spotting or heavy flow.

This happens to me too. It just means that your period is early. Nothing more really.

It is your body's way of preparing for your period. The cramping should only happen at least two or three days before you start your period. If you don't start, it may have been your body releasing an egg. The spotting, is very normal. Again, your body is preparing for your period.

Yes. My doctor told me that spotting could be caused by implantation. In some women, after fertilization, this can cause some lite spotting.

If the very light spotting was before your period/at the time of your period and you haven't had your normal period you can take one now.

Some women experience some spotting at ovulation. If you had unprotected sex in the days leading up to the 14th day, you could be pregnant. Have a test done if your period doesn't come or you had unprotected sex and are worried.

yes I did in my last pregnany and I thought it was a very, very light period but infact I was pregnant. I had spotting all throughout that pregnany too - so if you are pregnant do not be alarmed if you have more spotting - before this happened to me i had never heard of it before but apparently it is quite common. However now I am trying to get pregnant again and I…

Yes, it is completely normal to get brown discharge for four days before your period, this is spotting which is just light bleeding as your period starts. A virgin is absolutely no different to a non-virgin.

The spotting could have been implantation spotting (when the fertilized egg attaches to the uterus), therefore you should take a pregnancy test to find out if you are pregnant or not.

it might be implantation bleeding. wait a couple days and take an at home test.

You are OK. That is just the final days of your period. Sometimes the flow will be hard for two or three days and taper off to spotting.

It is very possible. The spotting could be a result of implantation bleeding which can occur as soon as 7 days after conception. Good luck!

It's relatively common. It's a form of pms.... if you're tracking your cycle, the day your period starts is the first day of FLOW. A few days of spotting before your period really starts does not count as part of your "proper" period. It's one of the top mistakes women make when they're tracking their period.

It is quite possible.

You should wait and test again on the day of your missed period. The spotting could be prenancy related, but could also be realted to your period. If you still don't get your period and you're testing negative, wait a few more days after day of expected period.

You may not have any more bleeding this month. Use a backup method for seven days, but you're probably protected right away if you started NuvaRing with spotting.

If you had unprotected sex while you were ovulating it could be. See if your period starts, if not get a test done either at home or at your doctor or clinic.

so that you can know when you start it's you bodys own little way of telling you "you start in ten days"

Take a pregnancy test . There is very light bleeding when the fetus and the placenta implant.

Not necessarily. But, I had the same problem and I am pregnant! My period was supposed to start on a monday and I began spotting the Saturday morning before..... That is totally not normal for me. So I bout a pregnancy test and it was positive! It is best to take a test! They do sell tests that can tell you before you actually miss your period.

I'm going through the exact same thing right now. My husband and I are trying and about 5 days before my period was due I started spotting (at night only) and it lasted for 2-3 days.. not sure what to think. I'm hoping that there still may be some slight chance it was implantation and that I might be pregnant. Good luck to you.

It probably just means you are going to start.

Yes, this dark red or brown spotting could be implantation bleeding. This is an early sign of pregnancy.

It's totally normal. It's just dried blood from your last period.

If your test is neg try a couple days later in the morning with a five day sooner test wen spotting has stopped it may have been a misscarriage before u knew you were pregnant them are very common

Could be, but your spotting could also be your period. Go get a test to see if you are pregnant.

It IS your period.

That happened to me and yes I was pregnant. If you had sex a week before this could be implantation bleeding so yes this could be pregnancy related. Do a test when your period is seven days late.

Hi, Progesterone usually increases prior to a womans period and cause the period to arrive in some cases. Low progesterone may cause spotting but so does pregnancy.

It is normal to have your period for eight days but only if it is normal - spotting.

There is a hormone surge just before your cycle begins, your may be strong and causing some bleeding.

I would take a pregnancy test, as spotting is very common in early pregnancy- especially at the time when you would have gotten your period. I've been spotting for five days since I should have gotten my period and I tested positive three days ago.
