Gynecology

I normally have my period around the last few days to the first few days of each month. But last week I started spotting dark brown. I thought it was my period starting but I'm still only spotting. I still have some cramping and I'm tired (I do have a 7 month old though). I'm not sure if this is normal or if I should go to the dr. Also, I quit taking the NuvaRing in August but I still had a normal period after. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

thanks,

Michelle

I thought I had responded to this before, I'm sorry that you've not had one before now.

Are you still spotting?  Has this happened before?  Dark brown blood is typically old blood and can have several causes.  If the bleeding/spotting is still occurring, it might be wise to go ahead and consult a physician.

Hey Michelle,

It's been a few weeks now, how are you feeling? Has everything returned to normal with your periods?
