A member asked:
What is considered " spotting" during last period i had what seemed like a lot of blood when wiping but hardly any on pad, didn't fill pad in 1 day?

Subjective: Heavy bleeding is abnormal and is NOT spotting, but if you are unsure, you need to see an OB to diagnose and treat your dysfunctional bleeding. Spotting can be persistent, but is by definition a light bleeding that eventually goes away and does not last through the whole cycle. Go see your OB if you have doubts
