Have had spotting between periods for 3 months, and this month, spotting instead of period (for 5 days at this point). Previous periods occurred regularly. Gyn prescribed Integra Plus 2x/day to get hemoglobin up; having taken it for 3 weeks. Right ovary appeared normal on ultrasound, left one a simple cyst. Should I be concerned about spotting rather than menstruating?
