Specializes in Internal Medicine

Depends on: Where you are in your cycle. You did not say! also you did not say if you are on the pill or not. If it is time for your period and you are on a pill, there are some types were it is so slight it is almost like spotting and that is normal, if there is a chance you could be pregnant check it and see..
