A member asked:

I have very light brown spotting during time of ovulation, with no other symptoms. it lasts 1-2 days. could it be a hormone imbalance?

Mid cycle spotting: Yes thats very possible as it is a hormone fluctuation. If this persists a full check up would be recommended for bleeding or infection and if not already on you could consider birth control. Good luck.
