Question : Hi,
I have been spotting for a few days now. It started of brown and now it is a deep red along with a thickness to it. I do not believe it is my period. It is too light. Also, I have had white specks in my stool lately. The stool problem has been going on for at least a week now. I read online somewhere that I could be pregnant, so I took a pregnancy test and I am not pregnant. I'm not sure if any of this is normal or not? Please help...
