Tube Fitted, Spotting, Sexually Active, HPT Negative. Is This Normal?
Hi, I am 45 5 7 and weight 185. I have had a tube removed and the other tied. My period this month has been usually. I have been mostly spotting instead of a regular flow. I have been working out a lot trying to lose weight. I have been sexually active once in the last two weeks. Is this normal due to my age? Is there a possibility of pregnancy? I took two pregnancy test and both came up negative.

Hi
thanks for the query.
Since your tubes are tied, pregnancy test is negative, less likely you are pregnant.
Symptom of spotting is due to excess estrogen causing endometrial hyperplasia.
This excess estrogen is synthesized in adipose tissue.
So obesity is the main problem. You need to reduce your weight.
Hope this helps,
regards,
Dr Nilofer
