Kinda gross but....

What is the difference between spotting and a real life period?? It's been so long since I've had a period and I was really hopeful that this insane round of hormones may have kick started it
Had brown spotting last night
Today had spotting this morning then at lunch time I wiped and saw red blood. Not much else had come since then. Is this considered a period yet?

Maybe I'm too anxious to think this helped me....

    Brown spotting usually signals old blood..  Are you due for AF? Were you taking a medication to induce AF?  I would say that AF is right around the corner..

    Taking meds to induce her. I don't ovulate so I don't get her. This happened once before on provera and I only spotted one day and then no AF

    When was your last pill? I take provera also to induce AF and AF comes 2 days after...
    Does your doctors office have a protocol when they consider the bleeding to be AF??

    No protocol from dr- I have two days left of premarin then 7 days of provera ... I have HSG next week. I have no clue what comes next.... But i am hopeful this will make me ovulate again? Sorry for being so dumb/uninformed. I'm super overwhelmed

    I had the same issue last month. I spotted for 2-3 days and thought it was just a light AF but a week after it came full force. Even my doc said it was fine and I took my clomid but my body is a evil b****. (Sorry im so negative right now just got BFN). But it is proly just spotting. Hope this was somewhat helpful

    That would definitely be just spotting in my world, but perhaps you could call the office and explain your previous experience where the spotting was as much of a period as you got?

    My doc would probably call that just spotting, depending on the amount, as they emphasize AF as being a full flow.  Don't be shy about calling your doc to ask.  For me, it took a longer amount of Provera (10 days instead of 5) to actually get AF.
