Does spotting count as a period?
| Wed, 10-20-2004 - 6:12pm |
I'm not sure whether or not to say I've skipped the past two periods because it's not as though I see nothing, I do spot for the first few days. Does that count, or should I be concerned?
Thanks.

Hi ihsyasylime, welcome back!
If you are on hormonal contraceptives, or the Mirena then the spotting you have experienced may well be your pill-period. Some women may have very light periods some of the time while on hormones. You might want to talk over your specific circumstances with your doctor and see what s/he says. Let us know how you're doing, ok?
Take care,
Jill
