Most women have regular monthly periods coming every 28 days lasting 3-4 days. You may have irregular bleeding that looks like a few spots of reddish brown blood lasting one to 7 or more days. Some women can have spotting that lasts a couple of days then stops and restarts again during the middle of the month. It can be confusing, frustrating and hard to manage.
Brown spotting can also happen mid-cycle or during ovulating. If brown spotting continues for more than 3 months contacting your health care provider is recommended.
