Spotting and Cramping

Posted by mrat0001 @mrat0001, Jun 13, 2022

Hey there. So I was on my period from May 31st to June 4th. On June 10th I started cramping and on June 11th I started spotting. I am still having spotting and cramping. I have already made an appointment with my OB/GYN but I was curious if this is a common pregnancy symptom or if there is likely another cause? Thanks! -M

Hello @mrat0001 and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I am not sure of your age, however, there are so many factors that could contribute to cramping and spotting. With most cycles, 6 days after your period, you may still not have even ovulated as that is typically around days 12-14 so I am guessing it isn't pregnancy related.

Is your cycle fairly predictable? Are you trying for a pregnancy?
