A member asked:

How do i know if i'm spotting. i thought i might be pregnant. today my period is due and i have a pink discharge . nothing like a normal period.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Spotting: Using a pad always helps in determining whether you are spotting or not. A pregnancy test may or may not be helpful at this time since it may be inconclusive. A blood test to determine pregnancy may be useful at this time.
