A member asked:

Spotting for 3-4days before period. light faint pink but only when i wipe should i be concerned period is usually 26-28 days. is something wrong?

Spotting: This is nondiagnostic but could be from hormonal imbalance. If pregnancy is a possibility, perform a pregnancy test if you miss your upcoming period. Your gynecologist can advise you best.
