A member asked:
I had a 5 day period, a few days later spotting for a few days. is spotting considered as another period. trying to work out when next period is due?

Spotting does not : Count. You should count from the first day of your regular period and ignore the spotting in estimating your next period. If you do not wish to be pregnant, you should use contraception all the time as pregnancy is known to occur from sex on any day of the cycle.
