VERY light brown spotting for 2 days before period - what is this? And when does my period "start"?

[Anonymous]

OP here. I started this thread back in August and since then I have been to the OB and asked about this. He did not seem too concerned, but he wrote me an order for a sonohysterogram and told me to hang onto it another month or two and then get it. Now it's been 2 months since then and I'm scheduled to have it on Monday. I forgot to ask him about progesterone levels and he didn't mention it, but I guess I will ask him next time.

Just wondering what the outcome was. I'm having the same issues.

I am in my 20's- have always had a week of brown spotting before my periods. I got pregnant while on birth control with my first; we "tried" for my 2nd and got pregnant that 1st try- and then our "3rd" baby was a surprise- another birth control baby; and ended up being babIES! Twins! Fraternal; so my fertility is stellar. Spotting has NOTHING to do with it! Don't worry ladies. Don't trust advice online; this is not accurate information!

Doesn't that mean that this advice should be ignored then, as well?

Spotting can be normal for some, not for others. See your Dr if you continue to be concerned.

I'm a 42 yr old African American and I started brown spotting in October and every period since then. I just started spotting yesterday and recently my periods have done a complete 360. In the past when I would go off my period as it slowly faded it would turn light brown, now I spot for a day, then nothing the next day, then maybe spot very little the next day and then by the 5th day would finally have a period, but no flow. The only time the blood was there was when I wiped myself. I still get all the period symptoms and I still come on my period on time like clockwork, but my period is so wacky. I had a baby at 39, and since I'm now 42 it's a possibility the spotting can be a sign of premenopausal.

It's normal. I've been getting this since I was 12. I'm in my 30s. Usually I get it just a few hours, then the regular period, but occasionally it's light brown for up to a couple of days. My health is very good, no issues

I know this is an old thread but here's my two cents in case someone else is looking. Go to a doctor. I'm 32 with the same problem. I went to the doctor and found out I have a slightly under-performing thyroid. By all accounts it's normal - 3.5. Upper end is 4 but they want it at 2.5 if you're trying to conceive. It's a VERY easy fix. You just take a little more of the hormone your body isn't producing. I'd say if this is happening to you go get a blood test!
