Is my spotting normal? Eleven days after my period stopped i began to have some bleeding. The blood is dark brown to black, and my stomach has been feeling odd. I've been using tampons but when i wipe there is still some bright red blood.

I normally get my period very lightly for 2-3 days. I am on day 3 and passed a clot the size of my fist and am now having cramping and bright red blood that soak a tampon every hour for two hours.

My last period lasted for 27 days (not counting days I spotted), then I was off my period for only 4 days before starting another period. Very heavy bleeding, cramping but blood is more brown than my normal bright red. What's going on?

Missed period. Spotted on days my period was due with normal cramping, back pain. Very small blood cloths in the morning but pad/tampons would have nothing on them after this. Brown/red spotting day before. Not sexually active. Was this my period?

I had a normal period from 8/28 until 9/4. Started bleeding and cramping again on 9/11. Had sex on 9/16. Today it has been painful to urinate and bright red blood. What could be going on? Could this all be related?
