So I'm procrastinating talking to a gyno, endo, or primary about this. I am two weeks on T. I noticed yesterday morning that I was having a little bit of spotting. It has continued through today. My period was always exactly four weeks but this spotting is three weeks after my last period. Is this normal or has anyone experienced this? Is it a concern?
T is going to screw with your normal routine. But it will take a while for T to eliminate it.
Yes, this is completely normal. You may experience occasional spotting - and even periods that may be different from your usual routine - for quite a while whilst your body adjusts to its new hormonal regimen. It can take months or even years for it to settle down.
Try not to worry about it.
Greeja,
Welcome to the site.
Coming at my issues from the opposite direction, I cannot answer from experience. However, as a moderator, I have read of this experience happening regularly enough that it seems normal. If you are frightened please seek medical advice.

Pretty normal. Mine consistently came a week earlier than usual before it tapered off.
Thank you everyone! I've had some cool changes already but this is the only one that I didn't really think would throw me off. Nice to know that it seems to be fairly normal.
This just started happening to me yesterday. I got my period last week and it was abnormally heavy and short. I thought "ALRIGHT one last hurrah for my innards maybe this will be the last one!" To my surprise I have been spotting for the last two days. Nothing like a period but just frustrating that I still have to deal with this
