Hi,

My periods due today/tomorrow
About two hours ago I went to the bathroom and had a bowel movement and there was blood from my vagina, I thought this was my period starting but now nothing

Should I be worried?

For me, it's pretty to have some blood the day before my period. I think it's called spotting. my friends who start around the same time as me also get this so I'm pretty sure it's normal and you have nothing to worry about.

Corrie, it's true that many people experience some spotting as their period's beginning, or right before it begins; it's a totally normal thing to notice, even if you haven't noticed it before.

Aaron, I appreciate you wanting to help! But this section of the boards is specifically for staff replies only.

Just worried a bit because I've never had this before but there seems to be a bit more today (this would be the same day my period started last month, I'm on the combination pill)

I therefore shouldn't worry about implantation bleeding and just wait for my period to come on fully because the blood yesterday was bright red and there was a blood clot today when I went to the bathroom?

Just in case anyone else has had this problem, my period eventually did come on just a few days late, guessing it was probably the pill messing with my cycle again

Thanks for the update Corrie! I'm glad you feel ok about things now.
