Tampons: Tampons will stop the blood from flowing out of the vagina as it will be absorbed. That is the benefit of tampons. Inserting something intro the vagina does not stop the menstrual cycle.

I'm sexually active and I started spotting light pink CM 10 days after my period ended. I also believe that I ovulate early based on what my app says. What could be the reason for this because I don't usually spot at all?
