How heavy can spotting get?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Spotting: The delicate hormonal balance and cyclical changes your body undergoes during your cycle can cause marked differences in the amount of "spotting" you can experience during your cycle. However, "heavy" bleeding should always be reported to your gynecologist in casese it signified the onset of something else, such as a uterine or cervical polyp, underlying your situation.
