TMI- Spotting before a period ?

My periods are always regular. Between the 3rd & 6th of the month. I have never had spotting before a period. About an hour ago I noticed a bit of reddish brown when I went to the bathroom. Not alot. What you would normally get at the very end of your period. Does anyone ever get spotting before a period? What the hell is my body doing? Should I be concerned? I don't have any cramps or anything normally associated with my period.

Re: TMI- Spotting before a period ?

  • I spot for about three months before my period. I'm not the norm, though. A lot of women spot before their periods. Your lining might be a bit thicker this month, or just a weird cycle.
  • I sometimes spot the day or so before my period starts. Spotting can also happen throughout your cycle due to a lot of factors. I'd guess it's probably nothing if you have no other symptoms, but if you have any reason to be worried you should talk to your doctor.

  • I spotted this last month for the first time ever, and I've been having regular periods for 20 years.  I guess sometimes our bodies just like to be weird.

  • Probably normal. I spot before most of my periods. It's rare for me to start a period without any "warning".
