A member asked:

Is it normal to spot 5 days after a period? my period was also 2 weeks late and experiencing sore nipples

Pregnancy test?: This can happen on occasion. But you need to make sure you are not pregnant. A simple urine pregnancy test will answer this. Normally, your cycles will return to normal over the next month or two. If this bleeding pattern continues each month, you should get checked by your health provider.
