Period or not?

For the second month in a row now, I am having a strange period if that’s what you call it. The bleeding seems to start when I go to the toilet, but then tails off again afterwards, until I go again. It’s more like a normal flow when I have a number 2, but much lighter when I wipe after just a wee.
Then I find there’s hardly anything on a pad. Usually my period lasts between 4-5 days on a normal flow, but last month it was like spotting on & off for 3 days, so I don’t know whether to class it as a period or not?
I have never had any period related conditions before, the only thing I find is my cycles aren’t always regular and can sometimes be about 38 days, but this isn’t alway the case. I am 46.
