Since Saturday I would consider myself to be spotting. (might be TMI...) I don't need a panty liner even, just a little brown-ish when I wipe. </p> <p>My doctor said to call him if it doesn't start 1 week after stopping the Provera. Would I consider this spotting to be the start of my period? I'm torn. I don't think it is yet, I'm used to having pretty heavy periods.... </p>
