Hello all! I have a question about my periods. I AM sexually active, and my period is due sometime around... right now. We do use condoms, however no pill. I have been having brown.. almost spotting. It's not a flow like a regular period. This started Saturday morning, and ended on Tuesday. No flow the whole time, just minimal spotting. Usually by now I would have started my period. I was wearing tampons, just in case, (I'm always in class, and I would rather be safe then sorry!), but they seemed to be unnecessary. Whenever I take out the tampon it has very very small amounts of brownish... stuff on it. I know I need to see a doctor, I have an appointment scheduled! Until then, any ideas about what could be going on? Anything would be greatly appreciated!

I have this issue all the time.although it is extremely annoying it is very common.when I wasn't trying to get pregnant it was always scary(omg I'm pregnant!! ) still not a bad idea to see your doctor for peace of mind.I had the same issue for 3 months in a row but still after taking about 8 home pregnant.tests they were negative and then went to the doctor where another one was done and still negative. Just was told it was normal.hope this helps.by the way I am a mother of 3 kids,but no doctor:)ha

Thanks so much!
