Spotting Before Menopause
Why would I suddenly start spotting before my period?
I'm regular like clockwork, no where near menopause, age 38, and for the first time spotted 2 days before my period. Can you please provide a detailed answer as to why this is happening suddenly?
Thanks!
PS: I am not pregnant, have zero STDs, infections, or diseases.
Hi there,
It's very frustrating when your period doesn't act like its normal self.
Try this web site: http://www.wrongdiagnosis.com/sym/spotting.htm
For some women it's normal to spot before their period. But if it normally doesn't happen, then suddenly does, I can understand your concern.
There's even a symtom combination checker for you here: http://www.wrongdiagnosis.com/symptoms/spotting/symptom-search.htm
Possible causes are:
Medication
Stress
You're sure you're not PG?
Changes in hormones - it's possible for them to change.
See if it happens again, and maybe mention it in your next appt.
