I got my period for the month of November started on the 10th and stopped on the 14th, but on the 15th and 16th I was spotting some very light pink-ish blood.
I was sure I had completely stopped my period because on the 14th the last day that brownish blood came out the one that always comes out when it ends.. what can this light spotting be?

Hi,
Welcome to ehealthforum,
The light spotting could be indicative of ovulation bleeding, breakthrough bleeding, hormonal changes, pending blood expulsion etc. The exact cause can only be made out after careful evaluation and further investigations (as indicated by examination findings). Go ahead with visiting your doctor/gynecologist for examination and further evaluation to look for the underlying cause if the symptoms persist or if you have similar symptoms in your next menstrual cycles. Treatment as appropriate (based on the examination findings and investigation results) would be started to help you in regulating your periods. Be in regular monitoring and follow-up with your treating doctor/gynecologist and report any new/abnormal symptoms immediately. Drink plenty of water. Take adequate rest. Maintain healthy diet and lifestyle.
Take care.
