Spotting before having a missed period

robsgrl23

A week before my period, I started getting a brown discharge. It lasted about 4 days and was on/off and light for the most part, then stopped on day 4. The following week(last week) I was to get my period. It normally starts on Monday or Tuesday. On Tuesday, I had some bleeding, I thought this was the start of my peiod. It wasn't that heavy and was enough to just wear a light pad. Wednesday I woke up, and it was gone. So I never actually got my period like I normally do. I'm on the pill and have never had this happen before

Could be implantation bleeding ( think that's what it's called). If your period was irregular I'd POAS. Good Luck!

I'm a newbie to the board.. what's the POAS mean? Thanks! I'm calling my OB tom to see what they say

POAS = pee on a stick

Take a pregnancy test.  That's all the OB would do for you, and the dr's tests are just as accurate and sensitive as the ones from the store, but feel free to call.

This... they are just more expensive than an EPT. The home pregnancy tests are regarded as accurate medical info at my clinic.

Thanks! I figured it was something so simple.. but had no clue. Thanks again!

I had almost exactly this when I became pregnant. I would take a pee test if I were you. Your body is used to periods and you still would be developing the pregnancy hormones if you are pregnant which would cause the spotting.

Good luck and I hope you get the results you want.

I called my OBGYN and they told me that what I experienced was normal. That I didn't "shed" the layer this month. I guess I will find out when it comes around for my next period.. although I'm still gonna take a test just incase
