A member asked:

My last menstrual cycle lasted 8 days, now 7 days later i am spotting- what could be the cause of this? please help

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Spotting: May have mid cycle spotting. 4 hormones change in level in mid cycle (2 increase, 2 decrease) and the shift in levels may cause mild withdraw bleeding (spotting). Keep menses diary and see doctor if not sure.
