Bummer: At age 17, your communication between your brain and your ovaries is still maturing. Sometimes young women such as yourself have this bleeding. It could be normal developmental stage. Could also be your thyroid or pituitary. If you're concerned, a gynecologist can help you. You may consider birth control pills as they can help regulate your cycle. Again, consider seeing your doctor to discuss!

Irregular periods : Irregular periods are one of the most common problems obgyns treat. If this is one time problem it usually resolves on its own. If this is a recurring problem you should be evaluated. Infections & hormonal changes can cause spotting. If there is a concern for pregnancy then do a home pregnancy test . There are many options available to help regulate the menstrual cycle. Schedule a visit.
