Spotting before period

4 Replies

Hi ladies, just a quick question. Does anyone else have spotting just before their period is due? Mine was usually 1/2 days before but now it's been going on for about 5 days and I'm due any day now. When I got diagnosed with endo my gyno did say this was a symptom but I just wanted see if anyone else has it.

Thank you xx

Yes, I have spotting with brown blood - it usually lasts 2 or 3 days. Then I usually have a period that lasts 8 or 9 days and the last couple of days are brown blood and spotting. I understand it is a symptom of endometriosis to get this pattern of bleeding.

Yes, definitely a symptom. I can have it up to a week before my period starts. It totally sopped after I had very radical excision surgery but unfortunately after about a year it has started to come back again, along with my cycle getting slightly shorter by a day or two as well. Sx

Yep, i get it too. I have about 5-7 days of brown spotting now before i get my real flow. Its so frustrating that my period is now twice as long as it used to be!

Don't you love the way Endo is one of those diseases which just keeps giving?! :(
