Experiencing spotting seven days before your period can be concerning. Let's explore what Bellabeat users should know about this common issue.

Understanding Spotting

Spotting refers to light bleeding that occurs outside your regular menstrual period. It can vary in color, from pink to brown, and is often lighter than typical menstrual flow.

Possible Causes

Several factors might cause spotting before your period. These include:

  • Hormonal Imbalances: Fluctuations in estrogen and progesterone levels can lead to spotting.
  • Ovulation: Some women experience spotting during ovulation.
  • Implantation Bleeding: If you are trying to conceive, spotting could be implantation bleeding.
  • Stress: High stress levels can affect your menstrual cycle and cause spotting.
  • Changes in Birth Control: Starting or stopping hormonal birth control can disrupt your cycle.
  • Infections: Certain infections may cause spotting.
