    Sorry to have to ask, but do you mean spotting as in TOM or #1? I've heard from people who've experienced both. Usually, when I hear the word "spotting," I think of TOM, but I just wanted to check that it wasn't a leakage issue.

    Working out can change your schedule. If you work out too hard, you can even miss a month (happened to me once).
  • the answer depends on a lot of things...are you pg? is it blood? #1?

    I have had it happen to me from increasing exercise, I also had an IUD so that could have added to it, but I have heard of this before. Especially with lots of core work.

    There could be many reasons this is happening. But it's always best to talk to your OBGYN about it. :)
