Spotting...


I've come over from WTT to ask a question... I hope you don't mind. I figured the ladies in first tri would know best

When you talk about spotting, how heavy is it? I ask because I think my AF started today, but I don't know whether it is a freakishly light AF or spotting.
I normally have a very heavy period.

I have been getting pink blood when I wipe at intervals all day... I put a pad in just incase it picked up and turned into proper AF suddenly and I have a small amount of pink blood on there but not much.
From what I've read spotting is tiny amounts, and what I have certainly isn't a lot but it's definitely visible when I wipe, and last time I went to the loo, it was quite dark pink, with a hint of red.

So could this be classed as spotting, or is my period just wierd?
Thanks for the help xxx

hi thomsponic,
Can't say I really have too much info for you...but like AJpeartree said just wait a day or two and see...have you taken an HPT? In my last year (when I wasn't TTC) I had some really strange periods (like you describe) while I was on BCP it always makes you wonder...
sorry I can't be more help...

I would probably call it spotting which can happen a few days before AF and can happen for alot of other reasons also. I would not worry unless you have other problems or if AF dont become more normal in a day or 2
hope that helps

Thanks. I was only asking because I have been getting a lot of other symtoms but assumed I was just wishful thinking, then when I got a really light period like this (which I never do) I started thinking...

but overnight it's gotten a little heavier. Not much, but I had a teeny bit of actual blood, as opposed to stuff I had yesterday which looked like watercolour paint? It's back to that consistency now but it's a bit redder so I'm guessing it's not spotting, just a wierd period I know they can change a lot when you're young so I'm not too worried...

thanks for the help
xxx
