A member asked:

My period is 4 days late and now i have light brown pinkish spotting what do you think it could be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Do pregnancy test: Use first morning urine and follow the instructions for the test carefully. if the result is negative repeat the test in 4-5 days, if you do not get a period by then. If you do not wish to be pregnant, use contraception all the time, every time. You may consider implanted contraceptive. Practice safe sex. Get HPV vaccine.
