Plan B: Use over the counter Plan B if intercourse was within 72 hours to decrease the risk of unplanned pregnancy.  Irregular spotting after use is fairly common.

Question 3

16 day period, now spotting? no pain and no clots, very scared! mother of two, not on pill? light cramp but feeling well? advise please!

Accepted Answer

See the Doctor: I can hopefully help you be less scared. You are feeling well, having no pain, and these situations with irregular periods and bleeding are actually the most common reason women see their gynecologists.  If the bleeding returns or if the spotting does not stop then it may be time for an exam.  But, please know this is a common situation and likely not to be a big deal.

Question 4

now spotting for a week before period?

Accepted Answer

Pregnancy?: Pregnancy is always a possibility.  Obtain a home pregnancy test.  They become positive at about the time you're ready to start your next expected period.  If i's negative, repeat in a week and call your doctor.

Question 5

period 10 days early,  lasted 8 days now spotting?

Accepted Answer

Abnormal period: "Dysfunctional Uterine Bleeding" (DUB) can be caused by many things.  A one time occurrence is almost normal at times, so see if the problem resolves and your next period is normal. If not,, you need to see a GYN for an evaluation and check up to determine your cause of DUB. Best wishes.

Accepted Answer

Residual blood: Some months the endometrial lining sheds irregularly and you can have spotting before or after the actual period.  No worries unless you are having pelvic pain and/or fevers.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Likely normal: What you described is likely a normal pattern and not a cause for concern.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

The brown spotting: May be the start of your period. It is likely old, deoxygenated blood being cleaned from you uterus.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Menses irregular: This type of menstrual irregularity is quite common and can be due to a multiplicity of factors.  If it stops, you should be fine.  If it continues or is getting worse then go and see a gynecologist and be examined.  But above all rest assured that the overwhelming probability is that this is nothing very severe.  Good luck.
