Spotting between periods
Posted: 05-10-08 15:57pm

I'm a 32 year old healthy female who has been getting a period for about 18 years now. I have NEVER had an irregular cycle. Always 28 day cycles - sometimes I'll start my period a day or two later than expected, but for the most part I'm extremely regular. About 8 months ago I started spotting in between periods. The spotting begins approximately 5-7 days after my period ends and it usually lasts until my next period begins (I only have one week without any bleeding/spotting). So, I'll generally spot for approximately 7-10 days and then I'll get my period, which is a full 7 day period. The spotting is dark brown and isn't too heavy, but is heavy enough to have to wear a panty liner. This month I had the spotting then, to my surprise, my period began about 9 days early! This has NEVER happened before.

I have had an endometrial biopsy, hysteroscopy, thyroid test, pap, hormone test, STD tests, and I think that's it. All test results were normal. I'm completely freaked out and wonder if this could possibly be early menopause???

Any advice, suggestions, or words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance Smile

Miss. H.
