Question 1

i started bleeding on wednesday and it stopped on friday. now its sunday and im expiriencing spotting and cramps. what does this mean?

Accepted Answer

Your hormones are in: .. flux for some reason, so hang on for the ride.  Irregular periods and spotting could mean you may have some hormonal imbalance that could be affected by many different factors, including age (if approaching menopause?), nutrition, illness, exercise (or lack of it), body girth, psychological well-being, stress, season, or simple fluctuations of other related hormones (thyroid for example).

Question 2

2 weeks late. neg tests (neg till 8 first preg.) now when i try to do anything spotting and cramps. laying down nothing. should i go to the dr?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: You could get a blood pregnancy test since it sounds like you're concerned about a missed early pregnancy. However it also could be that your period is getting ready to come. A late period is often heavier and has more cramps than usual, since there has been more time to grow the lining of the uterus, so more blood/tissue to come out.

Question 3

why i have spotting and cramps after 2 weeks of period?

Accepted Answer

Causes: Depends on your history. If you have irregular periods it could be due to overthickening/accumulation of the lining of the uterus. Could be due to polyps of the endometrium of the uterus, or to ovarian cyst, or fibroids.

Question 4

i am on day 23 of a 28/29 day cycle and have had brown spotting and cramps today. this is not normal for me. cause for concern or nothing? thanks!

Accepted Answer

Could be either: Spotting prior to period on day 23 can occasionally occur prior to the onset of bleeding and not be a cause for worry, but there are other causes of irregular bleeding: pregnancy, fibroids, endometriosis, a cervical or uterine polyp.  See your doctor to find out for sure.

Question 5

hi please after 15 days of into my circle, i have spotting and cramps. i have been searching for a child for 3 years.presently i am taking clomid.

Accepted Answer

Fertility specialist: If you are using Clomid then you should also be working with a Gynecologist or a fertility specialist. They can evaluated you mid cycle bleeding and evaluate your response to Clomid. They can check a midluteal phase Progesterone to see if you are ovulating

Question 6

iud for two months feel out so i got pills and started those the next day.third day of white pills. just some dark red spotting and cramps. advise?

Accepted Answer

A Period: I'm guessing you had the Mirena (levonorgestrel) IUD?  (Not the copper T?)  Mirena (levonorgestrel) IUDs have progesterone as the active ingredient.  If the IUD is taken out or falls out,  you may have a period even though it isn't time.   This is because the progesterone level in the uterus suddenly drops.    I would continue the birth control pills but use condoms during intercourse your first pack as you may not be protected.

Question 7

i had 2 d&cs, jan 14 & feb 5, i bled for 1.5 weeks & 1 wk later i am having spotting and cramps even though i did have intercourse. is something wrong?

Accepted Answer

Why?: Two d ; cs in such a short period of time is not normal.  Difficult to answer your question without knowing why you have these procedures. Spotting and cramping can be normal following these procedures as your body readjusts it's uterine lining. I doubt has anything to do with the sexual intercourse you had. Consider rephrasing the questions describing why you had the procedures.

Question 8

took a plan b 6 days ago and now i have very very light spotting and cramps. is this a normal side affect ?

Accepted Answer

: "Plan B" is essentially a estrogen/progestin pill, and taking it during a normal cycle will produce slight withdrawal bleeding and perhaps cramps, as happens when estrogen levels drop just before menstruation.  If your period is delayed , obtain a serum HCG test to be certain about pregnancy.

Question 9

what causes spotting and cramps once your period done?

Accepted Answer

Blood: After your period, you'll still have a small amount of blood in your uterus. As this comes out you will have cramping and spotting. Take ibuprofen.

Question 10

pink spotting and cramps instead of my period, what could be causing this?

Accepted Answer

Spotting & cramps: Pregnancy would be the most obvious cause.  If not then check with the base gyn.
