I failed to mention that last cycle, the same thing happened. This scant spotting (which most of the time I could only detect internally) continued for the full 10 days before my period started. It wasn't enough that I needed to to wear a liner or anything though.It was pinkish and never looked like blood. Maybe it won't be the case this month. But one of my breasts is bigger than the other, and I still have slight crampiness on the one side. If you still say this is normal, I'll be relieved! But if it offers any further clue, once again I appreciate the advice.
