A member asked:

In a little less than 2 weeks i am supposed to get my period but i've been spotting and i don't take any birth control what is wrong ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Spotting: If this is the first time that this has happened, it's most likely a late ovulation associated with the spotting. Wait till you expect your period, and see if it's on time. If this occurs on a consistent basis i suggest that you schedule an appointment with a gyn.
