Question 1

what could be wrong if i spotted for 11 days then got my period one week early?

Accepted Answer

Pregnancy?: Are you sexually active? Do you use birth control (oral contraceptives) have you missed any doses?  Best to check a pregnancy test.

Question 2

last month, i started my period one week early. this month, i'm one week late. is that normal? am i pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Irregular menses: It sounds like your menstrual cycle is irregular, so your ovulation date is irregular also.  If you've been sexually active and have now missed your period by a week, it's time for a home pregnancy test.  They're easy to get at the drug store.  Best wishes.

Question 3

Uterus cleaning: Nope. Your uterus has old excess blood it needs to clear. Brown discharge is old blood that has completely lost all oxygen.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Possible: The change in your period is almost certainly because you forgot to change your patch. It is possible but not likely that you are pregnant. Check a pregnancy test to be sure.For the future, I suggest to my patients that they set reminders in their phones to help them remember.
