A member asked:
For past 5 months, light spotting (light brown) and cramps always 10-12 days before period. on tri cyclen lo. is this std/pid?

Meh...: Probably not, usually PID is an acute and progressive presentation, rather than something that happens for a day intermittently for 5 months. A day of cramping and spotting mid cycle could be the " mittelschmertz" which is the pain and spotting that can be felt when you ovulate. Be sure and use condoms to protect yourself from STD's! This may not be one, but next time!?
