A member asked:

I'm having like bad cramps now, but no period because i got it two weeks ago. i am spotting though like a brown and light red. what can this be?

Ovulation: Most likely one of your ovaries is releasing an egg. This usually occurs about 2 weeks after your period and can be associated with cramping and light bleeding. However if the symptoms persist contact your doctor because more serious conditions could be the cause.
