Irregular bleeding: Many women have some irregular menstrual bleeding from time to time. This is very common. Nobody has completely predictable periods all the time. There can be many reasons: excess stress, diet changes. If you are sexually active, it is always a good idea to make sure you aren't pregnant. But if not pregnant, it will likely straighten out in the next cycle or two.

Question 2

my husband & i had unprotected sex about 2  weeks before my due period. my period came 5 days late. i had a full 7 day period. now i have light spotting in dark brown color. what is going on?

Accepted Answer

Take the test: If you want to know if you are pregnant, take a test. In today's world you do not need to wonder if you are pregnant or not based on symptoms. Pregnancy tests are available at any pharmacy and in minutes you will have your answer. They can detect a pregnancy 7-10 days after conception. The best time to take one is when you miss your period.

If : If your period is lighter in amount or a darker color, then taking a pregnancy test is reasonable and may put your mind at rest.  If you have discharge, then contact your physician for an evaluation.  You may want to consider starting an oral contraceptive or an implantable form of birth control like Implanon or mirena, (levonorgestrel) but the only way to prevent infection is using a condom.

Unclear question: Passing clots is generally an indication of excessive blood loss. If you pass clots regularly, you should take oral iron and multivitamin supplement to prevent anemia. It would be prudent to discuss it with your doctor at the next visit.Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats.

Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex.

Need more info: Brown blood can be normal.  Are you on contraception?  Does your period come every 28 days? How long does it last?  what  medications do you take? Are you under lots of stress? Have you traveled or not slept enough?  Possible STI?.  check a urine pregnancy test and get exam if continues

Question 10

my period came 2 weeks ago... when i went to the bathroom earlier today, there was blood (darker) on the tissue...is that spotting or what is it?

Accepted Answer

It happens sometimes: Many women have occasional variation of their mucus discharge, some spotting between periods, a heavier period, a lighter period, a longer or shorter period, or even a missed period.  Having one or two of these symptoms doesn’t necessarily mean there is a medical problem, but a visit to one’s primary care or Ob-Gyn doctor is a good idea if symptoms are persistent, recurring, or worrisome.
