Hi, I recently had some heavy staining. I think it is proper to classify it as heavy staining and not as a light flow, but I'm not sure. I read on the site that one of the ways to differentiate is that a panty liner is sufficient, and there is no need for a pad.

But I am still unsure, because the panty liner was fairly full, although not saturated. I changed it, and the blood that came onto the second one was a very small amount, and even if I'd kept the same one, it would have been able to hold the staining. I am also unsure if this is less than my lightest day of my period (near the end of my period). I never wear a pantyliner during my period, only a pad or tampon, so it is hard for me to say.

Perhaps more importantly, I'm also unsure if I had a hargasha. I felt wetness, and I am fairly certain but not 100% sure that what I felt was external wetness and not a flow inside. I felt this a couple times, and thought nothing of it, and when I went to the bathroom I was surprised that there was a fair amount of staining on my pantyliner.

I don't know it it would be relevant but I am pregnant, the bleeding is from a friable cervix, this has not been verified visually (so I know I would not be able to halachically blame the bleeding on the cervix) by a doctor because I had the exact same thing the last pregnancy and I don't want to be examined, as last time this caused a large increase in bleeding. My husband is a doctor and agrees according to my symptoms that it is a friable cervix causing the bleeding.

Thank you so much for your help.
