A member asked:

I had my menstrual period 2 weeks or so ago now iam bleeding dark brown i want to know why?and what to do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ovulation: It is likely you are ovulating, many women will spot or bleed lightly as well as have cramps midcycle when they are ovulating. Not really much to do. Birth control pills can override the bleeding sometimes as well as lighten your periods.
