A member asked:

I got my period 2 weeks ago and i started spotting yesterday. i've been taking metronidazole. is this normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

More info: I really need to know what other meds you're taking and whether you have been examined for a variety of problems, including STDs. The short answer is, no, this is not normal; but it doesn't necessarily mean anything is bad or terrible.
