A member asked:

Keep spotting off and on for a month but no period?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Spotting: First thing to do is a pregnancy test. After that, see a doctor to check if you are taking any medication that may alter your period, any physical or mental stress that happened lately, etc.. S/he may analyze your hormones to reach a diagnosis.
