Is this Normal? - Women's Health Message Board

I got my last period on July 18th and my periods are always normal and always regular. This month my period was no different, it lasted the usual 5 or so day but about a week after my period ended, i started spotting, but it was a watery spotting, very light in color on top of having menstrual cramps. Now the spotting is gone but I'm still having the cramps.

I went to the doctors on 7/31 (14 days after my last period) and she had me take blood to see if i was pregnant and it turned out negative.

Has anyone experienced this before? Any ideas?

Some women experience spotting around the time they ovulate. Or, if you're on the pill, it is likely breakthrough bleeding.

Hmmm, I'm not on the pill and it's never happened to me before so I'm a little confused and not sure if I should be worried or not. Its wierd, its like I have an invisible period, I have all the cramps but no actual period!
