Is this spotting due to stress?

i am 22 years old. i used to have irregular periods until i had my kid. hes 18 months old now and now they seem regular. but recently i have been under a tremendous amount of stress and i have brown spotting occuring about a week after my period is over. i am not sexually active at the moment and i have been checked for std’s and all is clear. but the spotting just started recently and it lasts a few days and seems like it sometimes starts around the time i ovulate. is this due to stress..or is it possible to have spotting during ovulation..please help!!

Answer #1

It is normal to bleed or spot, inbetween periods due to stress. You should be concerned if it becomes heavy, or your post menopausal..(which your clearly not).

Make sure you avoid asprin.. which can prolong the bleeding. And try to get some rest and stay off your feet for a day or two..

If it continues the next few months (not at a heavy rate) talk to your OB-Gyn.

Answer #2

its completely normal. and being stressed is defiantly adding to it.
