Q: 

Is there something Wrong ?

Usually my periods last up to 4 days but last month my period was so irregular, I had unprotected sex on the 12th, two days before my period was due, & when it did come it was just very light spotting for about 9 days which was uncommon for me. Around the 26th of October I took a Pregnancy test & it came out Negative. On the 19th of this month, I started spotting very light again, the next day it stopped & I still haven't had a "normal regular flow period", is there something wrong ?

Hi,
I feel that this is something to be concerned about, because it has been 2 months without a normal menstrual flow.
The inside lining of the uterus, which is shed during a period. needs to be normal .Extra tissue or irregularity can make the lining fragile and cause spotting at any time. The most common causes are benign polyps and fibroids at or near the lining.
A doctor’s exam is the best way to determine what’s going on.
