Spotting
| Thu, 12-18-2003 - 6:01pm |
I would like to know the possible causes of spotting. My last period (which are never very regular, I should add!) ended Nov 30; my boyfriend and I had sexual intercourse Dec. 13 and 14, and I had light brown discharge on Dec. 16 and 17. All I've read online is that this could be implantation bleeding, which worries me. I've taken an HPT, but my next period isn't due until the end of Dec., so it was probably too early. I'm just confused. I also read that implantation bleeding occurs 4-6wks after your last period, and right before your next one, so I don't know if I fall into this category. Is spotting caused by anything else, and if so, what? Any knowledge or advice would be greatly appreciated!
P.S. I haven't been on BC for about 2 years, but we use spermicidal condoms for protection!

Welcome!
Spotting can be caused by several things.
