Question

What’s the difference between spotting and period?

I am currently trying to conceive. My cycle is normally 36 days. On day 36 I was cramping and had bright red blood (which I thought was my period). It was enough blood to where I needed to use a tampon. However, my periods are usually 3-5 days and darker blood. This bright red blood only lasted one day. If that was my period, I would be at day 9 today. However, my boobs are swollen and I am very bloated. Bloated to the point it looks like I have a pregnant belly forming. I also have a condition called didelphic uterus. ( I have 2 cervix and 2 uterus). One of my questions is how Can I tell the difference between spotting or if that was my period. Another question has to do with didelphic uterus. Since I have to cervix, is it possible that I will still have a period from the other cervix if I conceived from the other one? And will pregnancy tests be accurate due to having more than one cervix? This will my first pregnancy so if anyone can answer any questions regarding didelphic uterus a

Spotty is typically a light flow but of dark red, almost brown, blood. It wouldn't fill a pad or tampon.
