Hi i'm on the pill but forget it frequently. my period is usally right on the tuesday morning of my placebo pills, every month. before my period i had like extreme PMS symptoms.. like bad bad brest pain and ridiculous mood swings... i never usually pms at all! i was also getting headaches and constipation which i still have. for a while i ahd lower back pain too. when it came time for my period on tuesday, i got nothing. wednesday morning i got a little bit of brown sutff..much different than ive ever sen ym period. it only used up like half of a junior tampon. then today, (thursday) i had the same thing this morning, and a little bit more normal loking blood this afternoon. i've been putting in tampons just in case and their all clean except the 3 that had like half of the tampon used ( they are junior tampons) i wanted to know if i should take this as my period or take it as spotting?
