A member asked:

Why could i be spotting 4 days after my period. i just went to the bathroom and seen i was bleeding lightly. not spotting now.

Menses: Menses is not always regular. Hormonal variations cause changes in menses. Hormonal changes may be related to a anovulatory cycle (ovarian cyst does not rupture and produce an egg), pregnancy or irregular use of BCP's.
