Accepted Answer

Probably: If you do not wish to be pregnant use contraception.
Menstrual irregularities are not uncommon and anovulatory cycle is a common cause. If you miss more than two periods it would be time to see your doctor. Consult this site for more information on this topic.

Irregular menstrual : Cycle could be mild or severe. It is often hard to know without more info. It is likely better for your friend or family to discuss in detail with her OB.

Question 5

i usually spot for two days then my period lasts a week. so that's a total 9 days. is that normal?

Accepted Answer

Premenstrual spottin: Yes, it is completely normal to spot prior to your period. If you spot between your periods, this could be ovulatory spotting or a uterine polyp.

Question 6

wondering if its normal to spot 12 days before period? usually when i spot my period comes on the same or next day. im kinda worried.

Accepted Answer

Not ovulating: There may be months when you fail to ovulate for one reason or another. This will occur on and off over the next 15 years. Without ovulation the hormones fail to support the lining of the uterus and you get some spotting. Things should return to normal with your next cycle. If it continues see your doctor.

how long can a baby stay in your tubes befor they rupter? also i had my tubes tied about three years ago and last month my period was only two days long and it was mostly spotting and now every time i have intercourse i spot a little bit could this be a s

Accepted Answer

Ectopic pregnancy: There is not a way to know when a fallopian tube will rupture in the presence of a ectopic pregnancy. If you are experiencing spotting after intercourse consider seeing an Obgyn for an evaluation. Spotting is not related to tubal ligation

Question 8

is it normal to spot before period starts? i thought my period started but then when i pulled out my tampon after hours there was barelyanything there

Accepted Answer

Yes : It is common to start your cycle with a little spotting. Your bleeding could get progressively heavier, level off, then decrease to spotting again at the end of your cycle. If only spotting occurs or if you stop completely, consider the possibility of pregnancy. See your doctor if you continue to have concerns.

Accepted Answer

Contraceptive: Bleeding after getting an injectable contraceptive can be unpredictable. Everyone is different. Keep a diary to record the bleeding days and how heavy. Bring the diary and discuss this with your doctor next visit.
