Hey....My last menstral cycle was from aug2nd to the 6th. I did not have a period at all of september. Today, maybe 10 mins. Ago, I peed and when I wiped myself I saw somw blood. But it wasnt like blood, I was kinda light brown pieces of tissue with slight redness. I cant describe the color. I have gotten no cramps suggesting that my period was coming. I always get these distinctive cramps when its coming. Normally when I wake up in the morning ill get my period and when I pee its maily all blood and tissue (even on the first day). What is this coming out of me? It wasnt a lot at all...I guess you could call it spotting. I am a very heavy bleeder when I am on my period. So much that I have to take iron suppliments. This is really weird...Ive never had this before....What do you think that stuff is?!?!

Well, it's common to bleed in the first few months. I'm 4 1/2 months pregnant and I went to the hospital just last month for the same reason.
Don't worry, just go see a doctor, and take it easy for a while.

Always, autumn

Hey, it sounds like spotting to me. Some women spot all the way up to till labour. So really you can't always depend on ur period to tell whether your pregnant or not. Get a test done and dont worry about it. ~melissa

I had spotting at the end of my 7th month, and I had it until I had my son. It was funny I kept running to the hospital. And when I was in labor it was nuts!! So different...Don't worry!!

Sounds to me like implantation bleeding (when the fertilized egg implants itself in ur uterus...) go to the doctors and take a preg. Test. Wink
