This amounty of premenstrual spotting doesn't appear to be of any
clinincal concern. If you wish to persue it further, a sonongram in the
early part of the cycle and endometrial biopsy in the later half of the
cycle will be able to let you know about the hormone status within the
uterus.
Hope this helps and write back anytime for more information.
