Spotting

Hi there! I haven't had a period since April. Before this, I had being having a period every other mouth. I have spoken to my GP and she puts it down to stress, however, I am naturally an uptight person but in years gone by, my periods have been okay, well since my PCOS was diganosed.

I am not the thinnest chick in town but I have been exercising more. However, my main question is my GP asked about Spotting but as I didn't know much about it, I thought it would be blood red spots. However, sometimes, when I go to the loo, my urine is like an orange / blood colour and the tissue is the same, is this spotting? This has happened a few times but does anyone know if it is spotting or something else?

Many thanks

for me spotting is more like the need to wear a panty liner but not enough blood for a tampon or sanitary pad. Like a few spots of menstral blobs of blood in your knickers not a full on period. If there is blood in your urine this is not spotting. Maybe what ever is causing blood in your urine is effecting your periods, I'd definitely mention blood in your urine to your dr and take a pee sample in with you on your next appointment....or go to the Drs with a full bladder.

I also agree this is not spotting. I have been spotting a lot this year since going through the menopause torture, this sound like you have blood or something else in your urine. Be careful with supplements you are taking and if you eat beets this will also do it.
