A doctor has provided 1 answer
Irregular periods: Irregular menstrual periods are common. The fluctuations of estrogen and progesterone can be easily affected by pregnancy, stress, weight gain/loss, thyroid problems, and uterine issues such as adenomyosis or fibroids. Talk to your Dr about your irregular periods and what testing can be done to determine the cause.

I have been spotting since Friday, the 18th. And it is now the 21st. My period arrives in 12 days. Is this normal or a sign of cancer? Please advise. Thank you?
Period was suppose to come on the 30th/31st of Dec., but because I had irregular cycle (spotting) for 13 days, does that mean my period wont arrive, or it will be late? Usually my breasts feel tender, but they dont right now. Hope it arrives soon?
Spotting for last 9 days- didn't get period which was due last week. Home Preg test negative. Have copper IUD for 4yrs. Very scared of cancer.
