A member asked:

If i've had spotting and slight cramps twice this month should my period start on the same date as usual? i feel like my cycle might be messed up

Specializes in Gynecology

Messed up: Sometimes you may have an irregular cycle. If your period is late, check a pregnancy test. If you continue to have irregular cycles you should see a gyn to make sure there isn't anything else causing it.
