im 16 and a chick, and have not had sex as far as i know. as of 2 or so days ago, i have been having brown spotting. its dark and there is usually a little left on the tissue after i wipe. im about 2 weeks out of my last period and am not due for my next one for another 2 weeks. Im just really scared as to what it could be. i want to aviod going to the doctor or talking to my parents about it for as long as i can. i dont think its pregnancy because i havnt had sex yet, although i have fooled around with stuff like getting fingered. oh also if it helps i have had my period for about 3-4 years. please if you know what this is please help! thank you in advance!

If you still have spotting on your next cycle, or if the spotting continues for more than a few days, you should see a doctor. Continued spotting can be an early indicator of several medical conditions. If seeing a doctor is problematic for you, check with the school nurse or a female faculty member and they can help you.
