Spotting

Unread post by horsegirl12 »

I started spotting yesterday which would’ve been 3 days before my period is supposed to come. it’s extremely light and brown. i’ve never ever spotted before my period before so i’m wondering if this is normal? And could it be caused by stress? What could be some other causes of it?

Hi horsegirl,

It looks like you've already asked some of these questions on text, so I won't repeat those answers. Stress isn't a likely cause of this type of discharge. The most common cause of brown discharge before your period is that your uterus is starting to shed it's lining, but your period isn't in full swing yet.
And you to whom adversity has dealt the final blow/with smiling bastards lying to you everywhere you go/turn to and put out all your strength of arm and heart and brain/and like the Mary Ellen Carter rise again.
