I recently got my period. The beginning of Feb. and I Just got My period again this Month Feb. Before i got my period i was spotting Brown Stuff with A bit of Blood Then My period Came After. Is Because I may be Pregnant? Is it Because Me and My Boyfriend Started Having More Intercourse and We haven't Been Using A condom? I haven't spoken to him about my period because I'm scared i end up pregnant and we are both not ready for parent hood.

Menstruation Answer A5875



Woman’s period can vary both in color and/or quantity and it is still considered normal. It is not unusual for the brown spotting to appear slightly before the period. Having your period just as expected (durance, quantity of blood) rules out the possibility of pregnancy. However, in order to be completely sure you might want to use home pregnancy test and/or visit your gynecologist.
