4. Now you always try to take care so it never happens again.

5. When you first experienced "spotting," you could not have been more confused.

6. Routine testing can be fueled with anxiety.

8. But lots of times it turns out to be a pretty easy fix.

10. You've probably laughed off certain products or problems until you actually experienced them.

11. You've realized that nobody deals with things the same way.

12. And that things can be...unpredictable.
