Specializes in Family Medicine

Ovulation spotting: Some women experience light spotting when they ovulate, possibly due to hormonal changes, or to the egg bursting from the follicle, but the exact reason is not known. The timing of your spotting and slight cramping fits with this explanation.

Yes, I meant from my last period. And my last period was around 2 weeks. I didn't notice if there was a gap, and no I didn't have any sexual encounters and I don't have STD's. So what would the spotting be? A "sign" of my period coming in 2 weeks? Thank y
