A member asked:
I've been lightly spotting a few days before my period actually starts should i be concerned?

No: The endometrium breaks down slowly at the end of the cycle and can spot before full flow starts. The only exception are patients with uterine fibroids that have pre-menstrual staining consistently prior to menstruating.
