Last month (end of october) I had spotting when i wiped, a week before my period was supposed to come. It came a week later and lasted for 5 days (which is normal, it lasted from the 4th-9th). Today I noticed a little bit of brown blood in my underpants, and again when I wiped - and my period isn't due for another two and a bit weeks. What an earth is going on??
I'm only asking because my period has been regular since I was 18 (I'm nearly 23) and I've never had spotting before.
(If its relevant - I am sexually active, but I'm not on any hormonal birth control, so its not something like that messing up my cycle)

Spotting between periods is fairly common, especially around ovulation. If you start having other symptoms or irregular bleeding it would be advisable to see your G?.P. but otherwise try not to worry as menstrual cycles are mysterious things that change throughout our lives.
