    Default Spotting

    Hi everyone, I hope someone can help me. I am a 24year old and I am always regular when it comes to me period. Its kinda freaky actually because its to the day and always between 8am-8:20am. I am not scheduled to have my period for another 2weeks and for the past 3days I have had some brownish spotting. its not enough to use anything just there when i wipe with toilet paper. I have never had anything like this before and I have called telehealth Ontario and the told me the same thing they tell everyone "go see your doctor within the next 2weeks". My problem is that I have a doctor you have to book at least 4weeks in advance to even be considered. I have take 2 pregnancy test both of which came back negative. I am not on birth control and I have no had sex since my last period. (I know I am not pregnant as I have been tested at dr after my last sexual encounter). I guess all I am trying to figure out is if this is normal? I read all this stuff on the net and all of it says either its a birth control thing, or i am pregnant. Should I be concerned? Is this something I should go to Emerg for? Any input would be greatly appreciated!

    This is something to watch and wait for, not go to the emergency room over. Have you been stressed recently? Exercising more or less? Anything that might mess with your cycle?

    I am always stressed. I was born stressed I swear. I just started a new job and have had some issue with my father as well as with my boyfriend. However, I have been a lot more stressed at other points in my life and nothing changed. Is this something that should only last a few days? When is it considered a point where i need to go to my doctor?

    Women go for years with no period, or with periods every 3 weeks without having a diagnosable issue. Perhaps you should make an appointment with your doctor ASAP, and watch what happens in the next 4 weeks. Though it's better to be safe than sorry, it's probably nothing.
