Is this classed as a light period or spotting?

Hi Ladies,

I've attached pictures of what I think is spotting but I could be wrong, would love some insight please. It happened 2 days after my period was due and lasted about a day before trailing off to brown. Thanks for any help you can give me

Generally becomes a "light period" if it lasts for 3 days or more, but have not experienced spotting so can't say for sure - just seems likely.

That’s light bleeding, I would class spotting as something only seen when wiped and not in pants. That’s heavy enough to be seen in the pants I’d assume?

When I was pregnant I had what I thought was a light period about two days after having sex, which turned out to be spotting. Lasted for a few days, no cramps but heavy enough bleeding that it was visible in my pants. Pretty much the same thing happened a few weeks ago the day after having sex and I'm now pregnant again. So fingers crossed if that's what you're hoping for.

What happened in the end? Similar spotting to me just curious :)

I would say it is more than sporting. I would write down the dates and what it was like.
