vaginapagina | irregular bleeding between periods. (Reply)

Hii. I'm 21 years old and this is my first time posting.

Last night when I went to the bathroom I noticed some slight spotting. I took notice but didn't think too much of it, until this morning when I noticed it was still there, and slightly heavier. I just finished my period two weeks ago, and I've always had a pretty regular period. I know spotting sometimes can be a sign of pregnancy, but everything i've read that said that, said that was after you had already missed your period, i'm not even due for it yet..

I've also heard that sometimes this is a symptom of certain STDs. My boyfriend and I have been together a little over a year. We have a veryy active sex life (usually once a day, at least). We always use a condom due to the fact that I am not currently on birth control. However, the guy I was with before him used the pull-out method. Would I have noticed signs of an STD before last night, considering my last unprotected sexual encounter was about a year and a half ago..? Could this be a sign of something else?

I realize I should just go see a doctor, but I'm away at school and thats not as easy as it sounds. I'm just looking for any opinions or experiances people can share with me to kind of lead me in the right direction with this.. thank youu.
