43 yr old woman. day 17 after period. felt similar discharge like beginning of period. looked like spotting, then like red discharge. period normal all these yrs, every 26/27 days. no pain. no heavy blood, just like the day when period comes - light.

Some thoughts...: Many women have occasional variation of their mucus discharge, some spotting between periods, a heavier or lighter period, a longer or shorter one, or even a missed period. Having 1 or 2 of these symptoms doesn’t necessarily mean a medical problem, but a visit to a primary care or Ob-Gyn doctor is a good idea if symptoms are persistent, recurring, or worrisome; plus for routine cancer screening.
