Hard to say.: It's possible that you are just spotting (having light bleeding) as your period ends. If you mean that your period stops, then days later you spot, this is different. Keeping a record of your periods (when you bleed) is helpful for your doctor. I would talk to your doctor and give them the exact details of when you bleed. They can determine if your bleeding is normal or not.
