Been Spotting Brown for a Week

[tiffany2587]

A little Background - I'm 24 and sexually active. My periods are a bit off. One period will be exactly 28 days and the next will be 1-2 weeks late, and then the following will be exactly 28 days. I have spotted after my period before, but never like this. About 2 weeks after my period ended, I started to spot a little pink, then a little red, then brown, then red, and now brown again! I have also been feeling very light headed lately. This has been going on for over a week now. I have taken 3 pregnancy tests, which all came out negative, so I don't think I'm pregnant. I don't know what this could be, and I can't make an appointment until months from now. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Brown spotting is normal , it is like old blood your vagina is getting rid of , and it happenes to a lot of women but im not so sure about the light headed, nausea, and fatigue, symptoms you have been expireiencing , maybe you should consider making an appointment with your doctor . hoped this helped (:

I haven't been on birth control in years, and I'm actually not that active (which I hate to admit lol). This is the first time I've ever felt light headed, nausea, and fatigued. I always have cramps on my periods but that's about it. If I ever spot, it's usually a day after my period is done and the longest it ever lasts is 1-2 days (not 2 weeks later and lasting over a week).

Tiffany,
I have had the same issues before and I had somebody tell me once that the irregular periods are a sign of being active (becuase i played sports) and before I was on birthcontrol I had spotting too. Does the "light headed" feeling come on when you are actually on your period too or just when your having the spotting issues. I ask because I have all kinds of issues during my period... migraines, head aches, body pain, nausea.... ect... If you cant get in to see your gyno for that long, and you feel like there is a huge problem, maybe try an urgent care or even a family doctor that can do a pap for you, i have had to have all kinds of tests done and i know it *****... but its worth it to find out!!!
