What could cause spotting? I know
implantation bleeding is a possible
answer, however its nearly impossible that
i'm pregnant. I'm a virgin and while my
boyfriend and I have done some heavy
petting we are always very careful about
bodily fluids. I had my regular period
dec 6 and a week later I had some light
pink/brown spotting for 3 days that could
be described as a light period. But was
mostly visible just when wiping. I was
really sick with some nasaeu, a cold,
sinus pressure, dizzyness, etc. On
christmas eve, but those symptoms have
since subsided. I have noticed some
slight cramping and low back pain and the
spotting has not started again and it is
somewhat heavy. I notice some burning,
itching, and a fishy/foul smell and some
discharge occassionally. I bought a
yeast infection treatment kit and will try
that, should I call the doctor right away
though?

Don't use a yeast infection treatment
unless you know that is the cause.
Killing off yeast allows bacteria to grow
and if it is a bacterial infection then
you will just make it worse.
A foul/fishy smell definately indicates an
infection and you should get an exam to
find out what infection and get the right
meds for it.
Spotting is something many women just have
- it's all down to your hormones.
