Spotting instead of menstruating, what's the problem?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe nothing: If this is the time of your regular menses, then either the period of shedding is just getting started or the amount of endometrium to shed is minimal thus spotting. The first step if you have had any at risk sexual exposure is to do a pregnancy test. If negative, repeat in 3 days. If still negative, simply wait out this spotting cycle and see what the next period is like before seeing a GYN MD.
