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.
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.
You sometimes start spotting right before the period actually starts, so I don't think it is really your period, only an indication that your period is about to start. Also, if your periods are very irregular, you may only have spotting some months.
Your probably 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.
It is normal to spot a day before your period and also after your period. However, if spotting starts way too early, you might need to see a doctor.
Most women will see spotting before their period starts, this is completely normal. Menstruation doesn't have an on/off switch, as hormone levels drop uterine lining starts to shed; it will shed a little at first, so blood would be light and show as spotting, then as it speeds-up you see clear bleeding.
Yes, it's completely normal to spot before your period - spotting is light bleeding, menstruation normally starts light like this and then gets heavier as it goes on.
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.
I wish! At the most, you can shorten it by a day or two. Once it starts flowing, it's going to keep on flowing unless you take the pill as soon as you start feeling crampy or are slightly spotting. If you're noticing spotting, then try to make sure you're taking the pill at the same time everyday because that usually signifies a drop in the synthetic hormone.
If you got your normal period, then the chances of you being pregnant are very low. The spotting is probably just because you were ovulating (releasing an egg) which happens before your period. Many women spot then
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 spot 3-5 days before my period really starts which is frustrating as I dont know if I am just spotting like last time or it is actually a period.
When she starts to ovulate which you do before you get your first period.
