period vs spotting

everything that happens when you have period and when you spot/bleed. (its mostly spotting if even that) its in no way similar to a period. its a few drops of blood here and there. not filling a pad or tampon. etc theres a differnce and you would know yes if your so worried your pregnant than simply take a test.

My last period was Feb 15 and I haven't got my period yet. I'm two weeks late. I think I'm spotting but not sure what the difference is? There isn't enough for me to use a tampon so is it spotting? I haven't taken a test because I'm too nervous to find out..

Quick question if anyone has experienced this. I had to take Provera to jump start my period. I had some medium spotting on 16th so I counted that as Day 1 of period as on a normal month thats what would happen, then started heavy bleeding on day 3 which is when I started the Fertility drug Femara.. Doc said I should of started the drug on the 19th..

Sorry if this might be tmi... I normally have 29 day cycles and started bleeding this morning at 46 days. I took a dollar store pregnancy test over a week ago and it had come back negative. I'm not sure if the test was accurate or not. Last night I had sex with my boyfriend again and afterwards got very light cramping, but didn't think much of it. I woke up early this morning with light spotting and cramps.

This month when it ended I started spotting on CD14 for 4 days. Just drops. 1 pad a day at the most. I never have mid cycle bleeding. My real period was due 4 days ago. I have backaches, ovarian pain - you name it. Obgyn believes it to be the begining of the end and that it was low estrogen that caused the spotting. I do too. But I wonder if I will have another period or how long I'm going to have wait.

Spotting is pretty common, especially at first, and the pill usually shortens your period. Mine is just barely 5 days on the pill vs. 7 days before I took it. If yours used to be only 4 or 5 days, 2 days might end up being your new normal. Ask your healthcare provider for more info. Keep in mind that some antibiotics can interfere with the pill, and might require a backup method. Most pill packs have instructions that you should get a pregnancy test after 2 missed periods.

I am considered perimenopausal at age 47, but I've had 3 natural pregnancies (and sadly, miscarriages) in the past 15 months. Each time I've become pregnant within 2-3 cycles of trying. We had to take time out from ttc due to a ruptured ovarian cyst last spring, but now I'm trying again (2nd cycle we're trying) after being told my ovary now looks completely normal. My periods are very regular, and I always get a positive ovulation test on day 11 or 12.

If you are over 35 is normal it called early menopause my mom went through kind of like the same situation she was 34 always got her period on time and then one time she started spotting during her period with blood flow on and off she though she was pregnant turned out it was just early menopause there is nothing serious about it except the hormone changes and the side effects that come with the menopause

Hello, I'm in my inactive week of my third month of birth control and I will be starting my fourth month. I started with lo loestrin fe and was switched to gildess fe 1/20. I haven't had my period in about a month. I've read in forums that it's common and I shouldn't be nervous but I am! about a week ago I had a tiny bit of blood when I wiped and then the next day the same thing, but that's it. Should I be nervous? Please please help!!!

Braxton Hicks are more uncomfortable then they are painful like regular contractions.

Actually, sorry, but that is not true. Some women do have bleeding while pregnant. It looks like a period but is not actually a full cycle. My sister had bleeding that made her think she was having a period but in actuality, she was pregnant. I would do this---------- wait a few more days and then go ahead and buy a pregnancy test at the grocery/drug store and take it. You could just be late . . .

So I'm 4 weeks pregnant, I took a test over the weekend and it was faint but it was positive, I took one a couple of days later and it wasn't faint but still positive! I was supposed to start my period Monday and seems like I've started today, I know spotting is normal but it's more than spotting but it isn't heavy so I don't know if I'm getting ready to miscarry or if it's normal.

Hello, this is my 2nd pregnancy. My first ended with a miscarriage. I'm currently 6wks but I'm experiencing some mild period like cramping on and off since my 1st missed period but I have no bleeding or spotting. I'm so nervous but trying to stay positive. Has anyone experienced this? What could it be? I have my 1st appt 9/16.

hi im 20 yrs old im trying to get pregnant in march 1st i got my period was gone by the 7th but just yesterday (march15) i noticed i was bleeding again when is my ovulation???

Are they true periods or are you spotting between period. Spotting can seem like a light period sometimes. You need your hormone levels checked. You could be starting early menopause. It happens. You need a doctor. You need tests.

Hi all. I'm not looking for a substitute for a doctors answer but just wondering if anyone can explain what a contraction feels like. I'm 25 weeks. I fell down the stairs yesterday and my pants were soaked so of course I called the dr and went in to make sure nothing was wrong. She said everything seemed fine so I was content. I woke up this morning with cramps. Period cramps so it's consistent pain.

i had sex for the first time on February 26th and the last day of my last period was 17th februrary. My periods usually come every 1half month. For the past 2 days ive been spotting, so dark discharge. We used a condom and it did not split or anything. Im really worried and so i did a pregnancy test and it came out negative. I have never had spotting before. Im 16... Any advice?

i was started my period on the third of oct. and ended on the ninth of oct. now today is the tweenty-ninth and i am spotting am i pregnant?

s possible to see the heart beat after 42 days, but depending on the technician and machine it may not show up. Also depends how far baby actually is vs based off your period.

At first it seemed like spotting but it's Alittle heavier than spotting but at the same time it's not a full blown heavy period , when I whip its alittle somewhat

I would like your thoughts on this. I've been using my OPK's for 10 days now, started on day 13, all have been negative. I've used OPK's for two months, this being my third month, and I have an average of my ovulation day being day 17. It's now day 23. When I used them my two prior months I got positives for 3 days in a row. I've also had this crazy spotting. Everytime I go to the bathroom and wipe, I get this mucus that has a bunch of brownish pink blood.

I have had a little brown spotting periodically, probably around the time I should be having a period, but no cramping, vomiting, bleeding, etc. I have had one previous normal spontaneous vaginal delivery in '05. No other pregnancies. I am aware of the risks of a molar pregnancy incl malignancy. However, I would like to pass the ovum naturally without a D&C. Is this reasonable? Should I get a second opinion? Is it imminently necessary to have a D&C? Please advise.

Are period cramps usually in the same place as pregnancy cramps? My period is due fairly soon and I have mild cramps but there's no spotting. Had unprotected sex two weeks ago. I've never been pregnant so I hope someone could help me! I'm 21. Had unprotected sex with bf over 2 weeks ago (he finished inside me multiple times) and I never keep track of when I ovulate. I've been light headed, dizzy, and nauseous for over a week now.
