A member asked:

Period 4 days early, it was light and watery w/ mild to painless cramps. it stopped, a few days later i was spotting light brown discharge. any ideas?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Normal variation: in your menstrual cycle, usually due to female hormone fluctuations. Keep a menstrual diary and consult your GYN if this continues; however, what you describe is a normal variation.
