That was my only other thought..if you had an actual menstrual period with your regular bleeding each month, and then in-between experienced bleeding that was more like spotting.

Women can spot in-between periods, especially when taking hormonal contraception (birth control pills, for example), and this is called "breakthrough bleeding". Spotting is different than light bleeding, however, as only a panty liner would be needed for a day (possibly two days). If you experienced more bleeding that you would consider light bleeding (you needed more than just a panty liner for the day), then that may be more than just "breakthrough bleeding". If this is the case, a quick call to your doctor's office would be helpful to ask their opinion.

Are you taking any type of hormonal birth control?
