A member asked:

The last one to two days of my period is just mild to light brown blood. do these days still count as me being on my period or not?

5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Yes: Any bleeding that happens is included in your menstrual cycle as a period. If you need to use sanitary protection, then it is still part of your period.

Yes: Yes I would say so but if it is only spotting would not be worried about it.
