post from yesterday and updated at the end : okay so I've been doing what I call medium spotting its not enough flo to be a real period from what I've looked up but anyway its been four days and its a mix of black and brown then at points gets reddish too but it doesn't fill a pad like my normal period does and my normal period is a mix between medium and light idk what's going on I took a pregnancy test it said negative idk but its not normal for me this time around. but still doing it so today is the 5 the day of doing it but I was told that spotting including medium spotting doesn't count as a period I'm so confused doesn't count as your period
