I am 21 years old and have been having normal periods. Ever since i began my menstruation, i have never missed a month and i am usually regular. These past 2 months, i have noticed that i spot brown blood before my actual period. This is ABNORMAL for me. I checked some threads online and they said that it could be implantation spotting, however, this is impossible for me, because i am not sexually active. The 1st time it happened, i spotted just 2 days before my menstruation but on the 2nd month, it's 5 days before my menstruation. If this matters at all, i also took birth control pills for 6 months due to my acne but stopped because it affected my mood drastically. I stopped taking pills about 7-9 months ago. Does spotting before menstruation indicate any health risks?
