My period is late, but I’m spotting. I only notice it when I wipe. What is going on?
Now imagine that they get delayed, and to make it even more confusing, you notice spotting only when you wipe. No proper flow, no clear answers. One such confused internet user shared a similar experience on Quora, seeking answers. The query read: ‘My period is late, but I’m spotting. I only notice it when I wipe.
