Question 1

should i be worried about spotting 7dpo? i'm normally 28-30 day menstrual cycle. had unprotected 6 days before i ovulated. we didn't even finish....

Accepted Answer

Can take a test: It is possible you are pregnant. In another week or so, try taking a home pregnancy test. Ovulation can be difficult to predict solely on the timing of menstruation since it can vary a bit from month to month. In addition, a pregnancy can occur even if the man does not ejaculate inside the vagina. If you are trying to avoid pregnancy, be sure to discuss contraceptive options with your doctor.

Question 2

when spotting after light period should you be worried?  and what could be causing it? been spotting almost a week. lighter during day and heavier at night. charting and temping my cycle. we are ttc. this hasn't happened before so has me worried.

Accepted Answer

Pregnancy test.: Spotting after a period is not always abnormal.  It can happen if you are on birth control, under a lot of stress or pregnant.  Since you are trying to conceive you should definitely get a pregnancy test.

Question 3

spotting a week after taking plan b pill. should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

Spotting after PlanB: Could be several things, but first, get a pregnancy test. If its negative, thre's likley very little to worry about, its just the rest of the lining being shed.

Question 4

twice in about a week i have had some spotting. this is very abnormal for me as i have never had spotting before. should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

Spotting cervix: could represent an infection, trauma , cancer or hormonal problems. See your gyn.

Question 5

should i be worried if i have a uti & am spotting?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: It is not unusual to have occasional vaginal spotting.  If this persists you may want to be examined by a gynecologist, but the UTI is unlikely to be responsible.  Hope this all clears up quickly and that you are well. Best wishes.

Question 6

spotting and bleeding for over two weeks should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

Need more info: 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. If you do not wish to be pregnant, use contraception all the time. You may consider implanted contraceptive or an IUD.

Question 8

i've been spotting heavily for about 3 weeks when using amethia. should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

Birth control pills: The dose of progesterone (levonorgestrel) may be too low for you.  If you just started taking this brand, discuss with your doctor as you may need to get switched to a different pill.  Usually, we try a combination pill for 3 cycles to see if the patient will get used to it.  Speak to your prescribing doctor.
