If you are active (which I guess you are if you're on birth control), then you might want to do a pregnancy test. Implantation bleeding is spotting. And if you're worried, don't wait; visit your OB/GYN asap!

could be heavy bleeding. clotting when having your periods is natural. Don't panic. Unless you have a valid reason to think it's a miscarriage. Go to a gyno if thati s the case. But miscarriages that happen in the first few months of preganancy pass unnoticed. And your age. God, ppl have babies in their late 40s so it's not menopause. But seriously, just ask your mom. Those things sort of run in the family.

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.

Hi there,\nI am not a physician but it sure sounds like you may have a tubal infection.  You say the discomfort started after your period.  Are you positive that it was in fact that time of the month for you.  I ask because your symptoms, along with the bleeding, could be a sign of a tubal pregnancy.  In both cases you need to see a physician as soon as you can.  If it is an infection in your fallopian tubes the doctor will prescribe antibiotics to clear it up.  Of course you know what has to happen if you are pregnant in your tubes:  You'll need to have surgery for sure.  If this is the case, the sooner you see the doctor the better.  Good luck with everything.

You should make an appointment with your gynecologist.\nIt could have been just some extra skin coming off. A miscarriage would accompany heavier than normal bleeding and some cramping.

Your period was over just last week and now it's back. Maybe this has been happening regularly the last few months. Maybe it's the first time it has happened to you. Whether it's the first time you have experienced irregular bleeding between periods, or just another month of spotting, metrorrhagia (the medical term for irregular bleeding or spotting between periods) is frustrating and can lead to a lot of worry thinking something is seriously wrong. \n\nWhat is normal menstruation?\nNormal menstrual bleeding lasts about five days, and although it may seem like you are losing a lot more blood, the amount of blood lost during your period is only about two to eight tablespoons. Menstruation occurs on average every 28 days; but, anywhere from 25 to 31 days between periods is considered a normal menstrual cycle\n\nIf you are post-menopausal, or younger than 11 and vaginal bleeding occurs you should consult your physician. It's important to be sure that bleeding is coming from your vagina and not from your rectum or urine. The best time for your doctor to determine the cause of menstrual problems is when bleeding is not active. \n\n\nWhat causes bleeding between periods?\nAlthough the cause of irregular bleeding can vary according to individual health situations, some of the more common causes include: \n\nAbortion \nHormonal fluctuations \nBeginning or stopping oral contraceptives or estrogens \nLow thyroid levels \nStress \nIUDs occasionally cause slight spotting \nInjury to the vagina from insertion of objects, from malignant cancers, or from vaginal infections \nCertain drugs such as anticoagulants \nVaginal dryness \nGYN procedures such as CONE biopsy or cervical cauterization \nIf bleeding is heavy, bed rest may be recommended. Keep a record of the number of pads or tampons that you use so that your physician can determine whether bleeding is abnormally heavy. It's best to avoid taking aspirin because it can prolong bleeding. Whenever you experience irregular bleeding from unknown causes it is wise to call your physician for an appointment, as well as when bleeding occurs after menopause or when other symptoms are present.\n\nBecause bleeding during all phases of pregnancy may be dangerous, you should call your health care provider if you have any signs of vaginal bleeding during your pregnancy.\n\nVaginal bleeding is any blood coming from your vagina (the canal leading from the uterus to the external genitals). This usually refers to abnormal bleeding not associated with a regular menstrual period.\n\nFirst trimester bleeding is any vaginal bleeding during the first 3 months of pregnancy. Vaginal bleeding may vary from light spotting to severe bleeding with clots. Vaginal bleeding is a common problem in early pregnancy, complicating 20-30% of all pregnancies\n\nPregnancy symptoms differ from woman to woman and pregnancy to pregnancy; however, one of the most significant pregnancy symptoms is a delayed or missed menstrual cycle. Understanding pregnancy symptoms is important because each symptom may be related to something other than pregnancy. Some women experience pregnancy symptoms within a week of conception. For other women, symptoms may develop over a few weeks or may not be present at all. Below is a listing of some of the most common pregnancy symptoms.\n\nImplantation Bleeding:\nImplantation bleeding can be one of the earliest pregnancy symptoms. About 6-12 days after conception, the embryo implants itself into the uterine wall. Some women will experience spotting as well as some cramping. \n\nOther Explanations: Actual menstruation, altered menstruation, changes in birth control pill, infection, or abrasion from intercourse.\n\nDelay/Difference in Menstruation:\nA delayed or missed menstruation is the most common pregnancy symptom leading a woman to test for pregnancy. When you become pregnant, your next period should be missed. Many women can bleed while they are pregnant, but typically the bleedi

A dark, discolored, or brown discharge, which can happen at the end of the menstrual cycle, is old blood from the period that is being discharged. A red color is associated with spotting blood and can occur when ovulating (mid-cycle), or early in pregnancy. If there is spotting at the time of the regular period rather than the regular flow, it is recommended that you have a pregnancy test. Bright red vaginal discharge not associated with a regular menstrual period may be a sign of cervical or uterine cancer.

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.

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.

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.

Spotting when you first switch is normal, but if you've been on it for awhile, its not normal.  \nI had this problem in the past because the pill I switched to did not have enough hormones for my body, so I had to switch to something else.  Make an appointment with your gyno.

Breakthrough bleeding is what it's called. Pretty common, could be caused by birth control pills etc. I wouldn't worry about it too much, but going to the gyno. is a good idea too.

Yes the same thing happened to me. I was spotting, and even cramping alittle. Sure enough I was pregnant.  It was exactly 2 weeks after I had my period, and I knew something was up because It wasn't time to start my period again. I was on vacation ( which was when I concieved) and it started like the next day. I learned that sometimes there is bleeding and cramping as the egg implants. So Congrats!
