Q: Light Brown Spotting Between Periods
asked by: mitbee on July 11th, 2007

Hello everyone,
I was on the NuvaRing for about 9 months, and I decided to stop using it. So this month (July) is my first month off of it. I had a normal period from June 27- July 1. I am a little concerned because I have VERY regular, predictable periods and now this month, on the 10th and 11th (a day or so after I should have ovulated) I noticed a few drops of light brown spotting. I wondered if it was implantation bleeding caused by pregnancy...but I think it would be way too early for that. Has anyone else experienced this? What could it be caused by?

Some women spot around the time they ovulate. It is supposed to signal a strong ovulation.

It could also be caused by your hormones trying to balance out after birth control. I agree that it seems a little early for implantation.

Some women spot in the luteal phase (the 10-14 days between ovulation & their period) due to low progesterone levels. Low progesterone is common right off birth control. Usually, it takes a few cycles and then it sorts itself out. A B-vitamin deficiency can also cause spotting, and birth control does cause your body to have lower levels of B-vitamins. If it happens to you next cycle, you might try taking a B-vitamin complex and see if it helps.
