Brown spotting IS old blood that has taken a while to come out because there's not that much of it. If you are on birth control pills, it could be a sign that your prescription needs to be adjusted (when the hormone level is right, women will "spot" between periods). However, as it is sometimes a sign of something more ominous (various types of pelvic cancer, for example), you really should go have a check-up with your ob-gyn. I hope this helps.

Brown Spotting In Between Periods

some women have some spotting while they ovulate. Others have what is called dysfinctional uterine bleeding which is any kind of bleeding in between periods and that should be checked out. If you have PCOS, that is also a common cause of spotting or bleeding. A cervical polyp may also be the culprit.

I can't remember what it's called, but some women get "phantom periods" between cycles. The body thinks there's something going on, so they can experience cramps and sometimes a little bleeding or spotting, but it's not a full period.

sometimes women can get brown spotting between periods and usually it is nothing to worry about.
sometimes its caused by a hormone inbalence and other factors.
however unless it is really bothering you or happening continiously, i would check with your doctor to see if theres anything that can be done, e.g go on the pill, etc

That happened to me when I got into my 30s. It still happens between cycles. My MD called it "old blood" and she didn't give any other explanation.
It's like a period, but without the cramps.

Some women spot a little when they're ovulating.

Your body's natural design to rid itself of infection or old blood.
It doesnt mean anything unless the blood is blackened, and foul smelling.
