A member asked:
Do i have implantation bleeding because i'm spotting 5 days before period. i didn't have sex this month though. is the dark brown spotting pre period?

Breakthrough: It's probably breakthrough bleeding, can't say for sure 'why' over the internet. 'implantation bleeding' is all the rage online now, but it's over-rated in importance. It's not consistent and is usually not 'implantation' but breakthrough bleeding. A pregnancy test in a few days will confirm one way or another.
