This could depend on a number of things: Are you pre-menopausal? If so, it could be the onset of menopause. If not, then it could still depend on other things. Are you on the pill? If not, you may need to be on the pill to regulate your periods. Also, it could mean pregnancy. At times, when a woman first becomes pregnant, she will have a spotty period during her first period after becoming pregnant. But if it continues, or you are having any other symptoms, you need to see your doctor.
Spotting is just when there are small amounts of blood in your discharge. If this is just before your period then it is likely just the start of your period.
I have a dog that is about 7 months old and she just started spotting. Yes she is on her period or "in heat".
Spotting is just that...period blood that isn't a full on flow. There will little bits here and there.
Spotting is normal before your period - your period doesn't just suddenly start, it starts slowly at first so only small amounts of blood will leave your body, this is spotting.
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.
The blood can be reddish-brown to brown. Brown blood just means it's old, not fresh.
This is just normal spotting. Spotting is when small amounts of blood mix with discharge, dark brown just means the blood is taking time to leave the body and thus is going brown. There's no reason to think that this is anything unusual.
There may not be much difference although implantation spotting (if you have it) is usually just that, a few spots only, whereas a light period is steady over a few days. answer There is 2 bleedings you can have in pregnancy one called spotting and one called Implantation bleeding. Implantation blood can last from 1-2 days its just a spot of blood. Spotting can last a few days up to 6 days and it just a light period I got told but proper light.
brown spotting is just what is sounds like. old blood is brown. spotting describes the result of drops of blood on a surface. thus, old blood drops=brown spotting.
What you describe is spotting, spotting is just light bleeding so not separate from menstruation - most people spot as their period starts, this is normal. If you're not sure if you're pregnant or not then take a pregnancy test to be sure.
yes it can,
The brown stuff is known as 'spotting' it is just blood mixing with discharge, it turns brown when it comes in contact with air. This is just the start of your period, you can also get it at other times such as at the end of your period or around ovulation.
