Spotting

While vaginal spotting can be a relatively normal thing for a woman to experience, if it is not typical of your menstrual cycle, you should consult with your physician. Sometimes, menstrual spotting is the result of an underlying problem or infection. *

Menstrual spotting that is irregular and not typical of your cycle can be the result of a sexually transmitted infection or disease (STI/STD), and without treatment, it will not go away on its own. Common STIs that have been known to cause spotting include bacterial infections such as chlamydia or pelvic inflammatory disease (PID).

If you're experiencing irregular spotting between periods, it's important you see a medical practitioner so they can determine if testing is necessary. Even if the spotting stops, testing for sexually transmitted infections is still a good idea, because bacterial infections will not go away without treatment even when/if the symptoms subside, and without treatment, prolonged infections can cause irreversible damage to the reproductive system.

Since the Essure micro-inserts do not contain hormones, it is unlikely to affect the menstrual cycle. However, for women who have been using hormone-based birth control that suppressed their monthly cycle, it is possible that their periods may become slightly heavier.

Brown spotting is usually referred to as old blood and can be a indication of pregnancy, implantation bleeding, urinary tract infection, vaginal/reproductive infection etc. Spotting is also known as break through bleeding when on birth control pills. There is also a condition referred to as Dysfunctional Uterine Bleeding which means spotting or bleeding before or after your periods. Do a pregnancy test first. Then see your doctor hun.

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.

Red vagina discharge is bleeding - you can bleed for many reasons. For example mid-cycle or ovulation spotting as a result of hormonal imbalance, implantation bleeding if you fall pregnant, certain STI's can cause vaginal bleeding, or rough sex can cause bleeding. If unsure it may be a good idea for you to see your doctor to determine what caused this bleeding.

Teenage is just the period of changes occurring in someone's body also called as puberty. It is basically the period of reproductive maturity of the human body. It consists of physical as well as mental changes in a person's life. Due to lack of knowledge about changes occurring teenagers often tend to move in the wrong direction because they in the start only see unknown changes in them. Its only after 18 or 19 20 years of age they understand the changes occurred and have the perfect maturity about good and bad due to experience and exposure and also knowledge. It is very important to know about what is happening to you in order to not feel in-secured. For this consult your parents and trusted sources only.

Blood usually turns brown when it is old and dry. Mine usually start either extremely light pink or a brown color. But consult your gynecologist to be sure.

Hello. I am really not certain what this could be. If you have had unprotected sex within the last 2-3 weeks then I would rule out pregnancy. Once pregnancy has been ruled out then it is most likely a strange and unusual period for you as this does sometimes happen for no medical reason.

try not to worry, its only two days, not like its a few weeks, it could be stress preventing it so try to eliminate any stress you have, if you have any more concerns after a few more days, maybe you should visit your doctor and talk it through with them

It could mean that you are having implantation bleeding which is supposed to be light if in fact you are pregnant. It could be implantation bleeding or it could be spotting which can be caused by birth control. If you are too concerned, take a pregnancy test.

GO SEE YOUR DOCTOR ASAP Good Luck and God Bless!!!

It does sound as though you might have had a miscarriage. If the bleeding has now stopped and you feel otherwise well with no fever you will probably never know for sure. If the bleeding is still heavy and/or you feel ill GO TO THE DOCTOR!!!

You can wear whatever you want on your period, as long as the products you're using stop you from leaking there's no reason not to wear white shorts. Just make sure you're using correct absorbency, don't use super absorbency tampons if your flow isn't heavy enough to use such a high absorbency. You may want to try menstrual cups instead as these won't leak like tampons do.

Yes it is. Our bodies change every 7 years and much of it is hormonal. Sometimes stress may be the cause of it. The only time you should worry about it is if you miss too many periods or you are having too many periods, bad cramping (if you usually don't have it) then see a doctor. The birth control pill/patch can also cause this.

Nothing serious at all. Most of the time that just means that your body is finishing up with the menstruation cycle. Especially if your younger, and havent had your period for very long, you could be irregular a lot, but it evens out later. Nothing to be worried about.

If you have been having sex without a condom or another form of birth control since you stopped the Depo 3 months ago, then YES, you can be pregnant. Your light pink bleeding may be the beginning of your period as well. After stoppimg Depo, your period may be irregular for a few months. If you have not been sexually active in the time you stopped your Depo, there is no risk of pregenacy. If you have been sexually active and are worried about being pregnant, you should have a pregnancy test. If you are having sex and not using birth control, please contact your local family planning clinic or Health Department.

your most likely pregnant and it is old blood you need to let your doctor check you could be pregnant and old blood your uterus is getting rid off

Spotting is what happens when just a little of the menstrual blood comes out in the middle of your cycle(when you're not expecting a period at all) or it is a sign that your normal flow is about to begin. Spotting is usually light in color, and doesn't require a hefty sized napkin to clean up.

But I am on birth control and I am actually expecting to be on my period and it is very light in color and only lasted for one day. is there something wrong? Am i pregnant? I shouldn't be, or is it not healthy for me to take this birth control anymore?

There are many conditions that could cause your uterus to be sore. They can range from fibroids, to cancer, to an infection, or pregnancy. The only way to know for certain is to see a doctor.

This is not really enough information to say one way or the other. Many people spot bleed for reasons other than pregnancy. In fact it is quite regular. Did you have unprotected sex approximately 14 days before your period was due? If so there is a chance you are pregnant.

Yes it is. It happens to me every month. I feel like I'm on fire sometimes. It's because of the rise in progesterone after you ovulate. I feel the hottest 3-5 days before my period starts. Temperature can go up to 99.2. Then it drops back down about 24 hours before you start. When my temp drops, I know i will start soon.

If you are experiencing any severe pain, nausea, dizziness you should seek medical help right away. On the other hand, I recently had a similar problem (spotting 13 days after my period) but with no symptoms. I went to my doctor and she recommended an ultra sound. My results showed that I had an ovarian cyst. Most ovarian cysts are harmless and will clear up within a few weeks. My advice: talk to your doctor.

Hi, Your question is: What is light brown spotting only when wiping? Brown spotting is old blood and can indicate several things: * UTI * Vaginal infection * Left over blood from your period * Pregnancy * Withdrawal bleed from birth control * Spotting due to morning after pill
