But something has to be up. Can you PLEASE help me?

Answer
Most likely, the brown spotting that you have for two days, each month is your period. However, it does not appear to be comfoting. I would suggest that you ask your gynecologist to induce your period for you using Provera 10mg twice a day for five days, and you should get a regualr flow within ten days. You may merely have some hormonal imbalanace. HOwever, if you have not had a regular period for 6 months, it is time to have it further evaluated. First take the Provera, and then you may have to be regulated with birth control pills for a few months until your cycle is back to normal.
