A member asked:

Hi! my 12 month old daughter decided breastfeeding was not for her anymore a week ago and now i'm getting some spotting 12 days before my period?

Hormone effect : It's likely due to the changes in your hormones with stopping. If you have been having regular cycles, you are probably ovulating by now. If you haven't already, you need to decide if you need or want birth control.
