My doctor said any sign of bleeding go to the er right away
Spotting Is pretty much exactly what it sounds like. When you just get faint traces of blood every few hours or so that's a faint pink color. Anything heavier then that definitely call your doc and if the cramping you're getting is painful go to the er .
Spotting would be yes small amounts of blood. I would call your doctor ASAP to let them know in case something's wrong.
