1852119 tn?1319468508 t be any brown spotting between periods. For a normal cycle, the brown discharge is usually at the beginning and/or end of the menstruation period. While I do hope you are settling down to a regular pattern, I do think it would be a good idea to go in for a check up.
Avatar f tn Mine started in January, the whole month, but only with spotting. But this month, starting 3/15, I started spotting. And today I am bleeding but not heavily with some small clots. I am not on any medication just multivitamins. I do work graveyard shifts as a nurse and thought it could be stress or not eating right. Someone please help in answering our questions. I can't explain not having intercourse with my husband because I am having this problem.
Avatar n tn Hi, I don't really have an answer for you; I ,too, have alot of spotting with discharge between my cycles. I do have a cyst on my left ovary associated with pcos. I'm am on metformin. I know they cause irregular bleeding. What I don't understand is why I am spotting the same time every month. I've read it could have alot to do with the changes in hormones. I've also heard some people spotting just before or during ovulation.
Avatar f tn For the last two months, I have noticed that I have bleeding/spotting between my periods. last month I did not think too much about it coz it was very light. This time it was more although I did not have to wear sanitary napkins.. But am worried. Am scared of going to the doc as well..... Can anyone tell me if this is serious? Thanks!!
Avatar n tn Spotting between periods could be caused by uterine polyps. You should ask your gyno to do an ultrasound to rule that out before you get the IUD. The IUD helps for bleeding but only if your uterus is clear of polyps and/or fibroids. Otherwise you'll still have bleeding issues anyway even with the IUD.
705947 tn?1228849793 Why am I spotting brown between my periods? I think I might be having a miscarrige. I was 55 days late last month but I had a 4 day period and now 16 days after my last period Im spotting brown.
Avatar f tn I am a 20-year-old female. About 7 months ago, I began spotting between periods. It would happen once or twice a month, in the middle of my menstrual cycle, and would last 2-3 days. The blood was light brown in color. After this happened a couple times, I went to see a gynecologist. When I described it to her, she said it was normal and that it was because I was ovulating, and that it may have been caused by stress.
Avatar f tn My periods have been coming every 28 days until recently. Last month ( September) it was 9 days late. This month I'm 5 days late still no period. I had spotting inbetween periods in august. Not sure if that's normal either. Pregnancy tests negative. Stressed out, but no more than usual. No other changes.
Avatar n tn Hey everyone I am asking this question regarding my girlfriends problems she has been having lately. She usually has her period between the 20th-30th every month. She didnt have hers in august because she had just had her gallbladder removed im thinking, but had some weird things start to happen in early september. She thought she was having a period around the 8th of september but she said it was just spotting. I picked up a preg. test and it said negative.
Avatar n tn Irregular periods and spotting in between can be a sign of a hormone imbalance. If you are not eating properly and may be anaemic that too can throw your menstrual cycle off balance as too can stress. It was wise of you to do a pregnancy test, because sometimes you can get a light show of spotting. Best wishes.
Avatar f tn i've had regular periods since age 11 (im 26) and this month it all seems to have gone haywire! before my period i was spotting a tiny bit for a couple of days. i came on my period for a week as usual. now a week and a half after i finished my period, it seems i am on my period again. i feel sickly and have back ache like when im on my period. im on the pill but have been for 10 years, same one, never any problems with it.
Avatar m tn In addition, I have been spotting between periods. It is almost like the start or end of a period. It lasts a few days and goes away. Just a few disclaimers: I am not on any birth control, have not had any unprotected sex (only sex with one partner whom I have been with for years- we have both been tested), and I do not have an exuberant amount of stress in my life to cause a sudden change in my cycle.
Avatar f tn Have you been taking it so you have a period monthly or so that you have a period only every few months? I had a three-week period while taking it so I have one every three months, and my gyno told me to stop taking it, wait a week, then take it so I have a period every month for a few months. After that, I can go back to one every three. Apparently it's very common if you take it to have a period only every few months. Hope this helps!
Avatar f tn off for about 4 years. Normal periods, spotting, 2 periods in one month and then months without one. Each year that I go to the gyn., he does an ultrasound & an endometrial biopsy (so far, good) and offers birth control pills and that's about it. So I guess this happens, and unless you're willing to try bcp, you just need to "stick it out.
53833 tn?1234996629 I am 49 and been having 2 peroids a month for about the last 2 years, and then this past year, Iam down to every other month. Which makes the next month HORRIBLE with heavy bleeding and heart palps. Thought I was having mild hot flashes until I had a real one, just about freaked me out. Those things are awful. But bc Iam still having peroids, I am not sure if I should be looking for horomal creams or such stuff to ease better into this.
Avatar m tn If you were my patient, I would advise you that normal periods last between 4-7 days. Sometimes they can trail off a bit with some spotting, or sometimes there can be a day or two of spotting beforehand. I would certainly want to hear from my patient if she was having periods lasting longer than 10 days for more than one month. Good luck!
1006489 tn?1250445044 I had this happen to me when I was on the Mini pill after my son. I bled every 2 weeks (2 periods a month). I got off the pills when my son was 9 months old because I couldn't afford them and it was really messing me up. After my son turned 14 months old, I conceived twins...I blame it on the messed up hormones that those pills gave me. I never bled with intercouse, but I did have 2 periods a month and my doctor had no answer for it.
Avatar n tn I am usually right on time every month so I thought it was a little strange that I was starting so early. I used a pad after this, but there was not a drop in the pad all day. So, I only bled for (maybe) a couple hours and then it totally stopped. It was the regular color and consistency of a normal period (not pink, brown or light). After it stopped I haven't seen anything on toilet paper, etc... It is all completely clean.
963403 tn?1247176873 It is normal to have irregular spotting between periods, especially when you're new to the pill. The pill also makes your periods much lighter, because what the drug does is thin out your uterine lining. The thinner the lining, the lighter your period will be when it sheds. (That's what a period is-- the blood is what lines your uterus every month.
