I'm new to the site and need some help. I don't have health insurance so I don't want to just run to the ER or a doctor unless I have too! Ok so I started my period on October 12 2012. It lasted 4 1/2 days ending on the 16th of October. I started having dark brown spotting on the 27th of October and still having it now so that puts me at spotting brown for 16 days. The spotting isn't a lot some times just when I urinate and some times just whenever it's never enough to fill a tampon or panty liner in one day. So today being the 16th day of brown spotting I went to the bathroom tonight and it's still brown but has some bright red to it also and it hasn't had any red within my 16 days. What could this be? Please help! Thank you so much.
