A member asked:
If your normal period occurs for 7 days and flows heavy but now your period seems to flow 2 days heavy then spotting what is the cause?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It happens sometimes: Many women have occasional variation of their mucus discharge, some spotting between periods, a heavier period, a lighter period, a longer or shorter period, or even a missed period. Having one or two of these symptoms doesn’t necessarily mean there is a medical problem, but a visit to one’s primary care or ob-gyn doctor is a good idea if symptoms are persistent, recurring, or worrisome.

I experienced some on and off brown spotting the day my period was due. The next day i started with pink spotting but the flow got somewhat heavier. My period has now been going on for 4 days. Would I consider the on and off brown spotting as day 1?
