Specializes in Fertility Medicine

Are your cycles: Usually regular? If so, it sounds like breakthrough bleeding. Alternatively, you might be ready to start a period early. If you are sexually active it 'could' be implantation bleeding, but that's further down the list. The discharge is non-specific.

Dr Villaplana and another doctor agreed
