    Confused

    I'm not sure if this post belongs here or in menstrual cycle thread. Starting today I had some blood in my underwear earlier today then later it was more like a light brown colored spotting. Earlier was a red little spot ( about the size of a dime) Then later this evening went to the bathroom and had light spotting and it was brown. According to my period planner I have 8 days left until my next cycle. Aside from the blood and spotting I've had no other symptoms that would make me think It's a pregnancy. My bf and I always have safe sex and are VERY careful. We use protection each and every time we have sex. From what I've heard from some people this is normal and happens. However it is never happened to me before with anyone else or ever in my life. My body is like clock work I was stunned to see blood and spotting. Almost as if I was going to start. Anyone heard of this happening to them or experienced this? Guess I am just wondering what it could be? Could be pregnancy? Stress? Not quite sure .Reason I say stress is because life has been alot more busier and I have been alot more stressed and not in the best shape health wise lately. I thought about taking a pregnancy test but think I will wait and see if it continues or gets worse. If so I will be making a OBGYN appointment. I appreciate any feedback or thoughts! Thank you.

    Even the simplest things can throw off you body, like stress, medication, etc. I wouldn't worry about it.
