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)

If you're not having any pain or other unusual symptoms I wouldn't worry about it too much. Our cycles change as we go through life.
Every winter my normally regular periods go slightly mental. The first few times it happened I panicked but I'm used to it now. I've worked out that it coincided with the onset of my seasonal depression.
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.

Just seconding the "it changes over time." I was off of all forms of hormonal BC from age 22 to 33, and during that time I often had minor spotting outside of my 'normal' period. Everybody told me that stress would stop my period? Yeah, right. In my case stress, whether physical or mental, made me have spotting and even extra periods! It never hurts (in my opinion) to keep track of what's going on. If you aren't having pain, itching, or unusual smells or a fever, things are probably okay.
