A member asked:

I'm on my second missed period n should have it now but i'm cramping & spotting and that's it. the spotting is like clear slime with blood. help?

See a doctor!: Missed periods and "cramps" can mean a lot of things - but one of them is a serious, potentially life-threatening emergency known as an ectopic pregnancy, which could rupture. See a doctor right away!
