Those Of you wondering if spotting counts

According to this article yes spotting during perimenopause counts, and it' s normal to have it only when wiping. https://honehealth.com/edge/perimenopause-spotting/ If you’re spotting, you may notice a bit of blood in your underwear, or when you wipe. It could be bright red or dark brown (a sign that the blood has been hanging out for a while). There can also be an increase in vaginal discharge during perimenopause. (Any time it smells bad or fishy or looks yellow or grey, this could signal infection and you should talk to your doctor.)
