A member asked:

Brown spots 3days before period is it normal ? i am not married yet and not having sex .my periods r regular 28 days .

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Normal : Yes, this is typically a sign that your progesterone levels are dropping and that your uterus is preparing to have a full flow period. It is unlikely that this would be suggestive of infertility.
