A member asked:

Is it normal 2 have spotting of blood when ur on your period & the next day there no blood. it's like a on & off thing .is that any sighs of somethin?

Hard to tell: It's unusual to have such pattern of periods. However, it doesn't tell me what the problem is either. Sometimes birth control pills may be helpful to regulate your periods and then they may become more predictable.

Are you sexually : Active? If yes, take a pregnancy test to determine if that is the cause.
