Free Menstrual Calendar

Some women spot just before their periods start and when their periods taper off.

A small number of women may also notice some spotting around ovulation and some women see spotting when a fertilized egg implants about 7-10 days after ovulation if they are pregnant.

Taking note of any spotting during your menstrual cycle can help you and your healthcare provider to determine the cause of spotting, see whether it is related to any menstrual cycle event and whether or not it is reason for concern.

You should mention any intermenstrual spotting or bleeding to your healthcare provider.
