Actually spotting between periods can be nothing or it could be something wrong. I did this for years and didn't think anything about it. It happened when I was a virgin and when I wasn't. Sometimes it would be for one day sometimes it would go up to 2 weeks. When I got married we wanted to try right away for a baby (I was 21 by the way) and I couldn't get pregnant. After 3 years of trying we found out I had a disease called PCOS and that was what was causing the spotting. Also if you do get pregnant there is a 40% chance of losing the baby before 3 months which is a very high rate. So I do recommend you getting checked just to be sure. There are meds for almost any reproductive problem and it is good to start early on if you plan on having children in the future so your body is regulated.

Yes.  It is similar to childbirth.  I bled for a month after childbirth, only to get my period two weeks later.  If it is still heavy and full of clots it may be cause for concern.  I would talk to your midwife/obgyn.  At the very least it will make you feel better.  And I am terribly sorry for your loss!

If you're having some blood and it is brownish and you had your period two weeks ago, it could be that you are ovulating.  Ovulation occurs around two weeks after your period and it is sometimes accompanied by some blood.  Do you also have a clear, stretchy discharge?\n\nIf there is a possibility that you are pregnant, take a home pregnancy test.\n\nGood luck!

Well when I had a miscarriage, I started to bleed a little like spotting. I was also 7 weeks pregnant and really scared and stressed put. But after three days I started cramping real bad. I had huge softball size blood clots coming out of me. It was really bad. I mean the cramps were worse than going through contractions. But if your tests were all negative I wouldn't worry too much. Your period might be coming on. If its not time for your period than I would go to the doctor. I use scented tampons and I never bleed from it. I would go to a different doctor. Hope this helps.

Here is a great web site. I sometimes bleed after sex too. My doctor told me that it was normal but look at this site for other possibilities!\nhttp://www.wrongdiagnosis.com/sym/bleeding_after_sex.htm

Your period is when you shed the lining that your uterus had to get ready for the fertilized egg to implant to.  Since you didn't get pregnant, the lining is no longer needed.  When it begins to shed the lining at the beginning it is fresh blood which is more red.  This starts to turn to brown since it is old blood at the end of your period.  The older brown blood usually has a foul odor also.  This is perfectly normal.

Sounds like your period.  From what you describe this happened on the 23rd day of your cycle.  3 days + 2 weeks + 6 days as you have explained it.\nNo worries.

You can spot inbtween cycles, especially if you are on birth control, and you can have slight bleeding when you have "stopped" your period.  Be safe and go to your gyno to make sure you don't have any other problems.

yes that can happen.  \n\nalso if it has stopped, and then you exercise vigorously a day afterwards, you can have a bit of spotting. \n\nif it is constant, see your doctor, if it is occasionally, just know when to not work out so intense. \n\ngood luck.

I had a similar experience last year.I would be bleeding very lightly for 6 weeks straight until I made an appointment to see a Gynecologist.After the initial visit and numerous test,I was diagnosed with PC OS. Your best bet is get checked.It could be anything from hormonal imbalance, cysts,stress,weight gain or loss or yet pregnancy.

when i done that after i had had my period i miscarried.\n\nMy syptoms were:\n*Tiredness\n*pain in my back\n*Pain in my stomach\n*Bleeding (red to brown)\n\nI had just gotten off my period and 4 days later started to bleed again. After 6 days of the above symptoms i went to the ER where i found out i was pregnant but sadly i miscarried.\n\n\nTake a pregnancy test go to http://www.peeonastick.com and there it tells you all about pregnancy tests.\n\nThere are a few possiblities. However, without knowing your age or medical history it is a little hard to focus on the more likely ones. That being said, I would first wonder if you are actually having periods, meaning a normal shedding of the endometrial lining 13 days, +/- 4 days after ovulation. The flow should be crescendo-decrescendo or crescendo. This means the flow starts light, goes to heavy then to light. Or it can start heavy and go to light. The flow length should be < 8 days.\n\nWhat you may see as a period getting closer together is actually irregular endometrial shedding because of no ovulation. The lining of the uterus keeps building up from estrogen, but without a buildup and drop off of progesterone, the endometrium never completely sheds. Many women will do this thinking their periods are 3 weeks apart. This usually occurs with anovulatory cycles.\n\nThe clotting and brown coloration are typical of the anovulatory cycles. The brown color means old blood. The clots are irregular shedding endometrium. \n\nThe causes of this situation? I would first think of thyroid dysfunction, ovarian failure secondary to upcoming menopause, and ovarian dysfunction (luteal dysfunction) where the progesterone is not adequately produced. One must also consider infection, fibroids, and especially endometriosis which is associated with luteal dysfunction. I would expect other symptoms though.\n\nOf course, make an appointment with your doctor. Until then, accurately chart days you bleed. If possible, find a certified natural family planning instructor to help you learn how to chart. There is a wealth of information from these charts. Most doctors have not seen them but can get basic information from them verifying your situation of irregular bleeding. You can educate your doctor about charting. It really does help!\n\n\nThe brown discharge may merely be "old blood" from the uterus that is being pushed out by the growing fetus. It is usually insignificant and, as long as fetus is growing and there is no heavy vaginal bleeding it usually does not become a miscarriage. The brownish bleeding may also be due to a "subchorionic bleed" which is a sequestration of some blood within the folds of the developing placenta. This, too, does not lead to miscarriage. I would suggest taking serial sonograms to assess fetal growth and to determine the position of the placenta and the presence of any other bleeding. If the sonogram is fine and you continue to hear a fetal heartbeat on doppler, you should be fine. A brown dischrage can also be a sign of a vaginal infection, which, of course, can be treated if a culture grows any bacteria. Don't worry for now. \n\n   It sounds as though you are having anovulatory bleeding.  Menstrual cycles, when a woman is not having regular ovulation tends to be irregular with spotting and breakthrough bleeding and some cramping and bleeding.\n\n \n\n            If you need contraception, combined birth control pills could make your periods more regular, lead to less spotting or breakthrough bleeding and lead to less cramps and pain\n\n\ngood luck

If you're talking about brown mucus from the vagina, this is probably from bleeding. When blood gets "old," it turns brown. You could be having spotting if you are between periods, or it could be just the early discharge from starting your period. I don't know how old you are, but if you are young and aren't menstruating yet, this could mean that you are going to start menstruating soon.

I am not a professional, but I also spot every month between ovulation and menses.  My doctor said it is ok, that perhaps I have a thin uterine lining.  But I would suggest asking your gyno if your worried, better safe than sorry.

Well, are you a virgin? If so, there is your answer. If not, were you fully ready (meaning were you lubricated)? Is the fella you were hitting it with large (down below)? Were you going at it hard for a long time? If you had a lot of blood, call your doc. If it was just spotting, odds are it was one of those reasons.

Actually the spotting may be a result of the Pap. The doctor scrapes the cervix to get the cells and sometimes the cervix is a little irritated from the scraping. \n\nNormally, I wouldn't expect the spotting to last this long...unless you have what is called a "friable" cervix. That is a cervix that is easily irritated. Often the doctor will mention this during the Pap...but not necessarily. When indicated, a friable cervix can be "toughened" up with a simple in-office procedure.\n\nMy first recommendation would be to simply call the doctor's office and leave a message saying something like "I have been spotting since the PAP...could this be connected?" Then go from there based on the doctor's (or his nurses's) response.
