what causes spotting after your period that is accompanied by cramping

how long after your period are we talking about?

A day. I spotted for 5 days. The spotting was the color of mauve but in small quantities. I cramped for the last 3 days of spotting. The first day of my last period was May 24, 2009 and ended May 28, 2009. On May 29th, my cycle stopped completely. Then, May 30th is when the spotting began. I am 35 years old and never had a problem with my cycle up until this year. Do you have any clues? My husband thinks I may have a chance of being pregnant. He wants so much to have another one. We have 2 beautiful children. Bria is 14 years old and Sunday is 31 months old. 

So you bled four days then had spotting for five?

(FYI: your cycle did not end..your bleeding did.  A cycle is the first day of full red flow to the next first day of full red flow. Hope that makes sense)

I had the same problem. Spotting 7 after I finish bleeding. I spotted for 2 days. Now I am late 8 days for my period. Can you miss a period after spotting?

my question is that i had my normal period on the first of the month and it lasted five days then  had sex with my boyfriend a few days later and about 10 days or so after that i started spotting a pink color for three days then stopped then a couples days before my i spotted for one day then stopped i am due for my period in the next day or so and i also have slight cramping. i also had a negetive pregnancy test that i took this morning i have a doc appointment at the end of the week but if someone could give their thoughts that would be great.

i usually have period for 6-7 days, this month i have had my period for bascially 2 and 1/2 days then i was have a little but of brownish pinkinsh discharge, about a week later i have spotting a tiny bit, it is pink but only when i wiped was when i found it. it lasted for about a hour. i do have crampin a week after i had my period (abdominal pain) me and my boyfriend do have unpretected sex and he does cum in me, but i have been told by the doctor i have a tiny cyst on my left ovary. could i be pregnant even tho i have a cyst?

i got my period and had sex on the day it was completed however the codom had a big ass hole in it and i basically had unprotected sex. A week later i started spotting but i t was like regular period blood. This never happened to me before anyone had nay ideas? i too kthe morning after pill 2 days after i had sex.

shanny,

if you took the MAP then the bleeding was a period and it restarted your cycle.
