spotting between periods?

[alexis282]

Hi, my name is Alexis and I need somebody to hear my story. I am so confused on what this bleeding is. Implantation bleeding?...Ovulation bleeding?.....Cysts? so many different things on the web. I usually have a period at the end of every month and it stops at the beggining of the next month. My last period started on the 18th of Dec. of 2010 (which is kinda weird bc thats the middle of the month). I had really bad cramping which i usually don't and was breathing heavy but had a regular period just a little heavier than normal. Well Jan. 1st of 2011, i had gushed some dark red blood about the size of a dime mixed with a lil bit of white mucus and tissue and pink on the toilet paper when i wiped (sry graphic) but it came with no blood flow and it only happened that one time. I am almost in my twenties and i have been with my boyfriend for 2 years and we do not use protection. This spotting incident occured once on Jan.1st and i do not know when i ovulate but i am starting to keep track now. It happened exactly two weeks from my last period. Help me please i would dearly appreciate it!
