Hi doctor,
I have been getting mid menstrual cycle spotting. Is it normal?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Mid-cycle spotting is normal. There is nothing to worry. If it is associated with intermenstrual bleed, then you need to see a gynecologist who can examine you and rule out any infection.
Patient's Query
Thank you doctor,
I had my periods from 1st to 4th of this month. On the 5th I had unprotected sex with my husband. I had spotting on the 15th. For the last five days, I have taken up regular gym and weight training. Am I pregnant? Or can this be due to heavy exercise? But, I am exercising regularly for the last one year.
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
As you said that you had intercourse on day 5 of your cycle, there is no way you could be pregnant. For pregnancy you need to have intercourse close to mid cycle, , which means close to the time of ovulation. If you had no further unprotected contact during that time, then there is no chance to get pregnant. Strenuous exercise can sometimes be the reason for spotting.
