Spotting after periods

2026-09-21 15:00:41
My periods started on 8th Sep and finished around 12-13th Sep. However, I started light spotting  on 17th Sep. Had intercourse on the 18th. Spotting is light-medium. Why am I spotting after my periods are over?

You're seeing light spotting about a week after your period ends, which often lines up with ovulation and can look pinkish or brownish for a day or two.
Next Steps
If it stays light and settles within two to three days, you don't need to do anything. If it continues or your next period is late, take a home pregnancy test and see a gynaecologist if it turns heavy or painful.
