A member asked:

My period was due yesterday. in toilet paper changed from punk discharge to light red . nothing comes on pad. us this spotting or implantation?

Check!: Check a pregnancy test 1st thing tomorrow am and find out. If it's past the day of your missed period then a urine pregnancy test is very accurate - especially if it's the first am urine.
