Hi, Freaking out about spotting after my period. I'm not really sure how to tell when my period is over and when it's the end or when it's spotting at the end. Right now I'm on day 10 of my cycle... I think I had my period more or less till day 7 and evern since then I've had everything from dark bits to watery brown type of spotting/discharge. Sorry for the TMI! I do get this every month and I have seen a gyn. Back in January I had a benign polyp removed and they did a D&C and everything checked out okay. A few months previous to that is when I had an ultrasound which picked up the polyp and a small cycst on my ovary which the doctor said was common and nothing to worry about. With regards to the spotting, my gyn seems to think that this is just the way my body works and it's just old blood making it's way out, but I'm in a panic about it every month. I'm almost 44 and not on birth control. Thanks in advance for any replies!
