Why am I spotting a week before my period is due?

Question

I know it can be normal to 'spot' during ovulation, but this has never happened to me before. I started spotting (somewhat heavily) almost exactly one week before my period is due, and it has lasted for the past few days. No cramps; I usually get really bad cramps during my period. Besides, this is way early for my period. Could this be some kind of health issue, or maybe pregnancy?

Answer 1

Sounds like you started your period to me. Periods can go a little wacky if your under a little stress or many other things can cause it to be early and late..
