If the blood spots cease, your husband may be intimate with you, and you are subject to the rulings of women in a state of purity, such as prayer. If the bleeding continues for a day and a night, you must perform ghusl (ritual bath) upon seeing purity, as this is considered menstruation. If it does not reach a day and a night, it is more cautious to also perform ghusl. After seeing purity, all the rulings of women in a state of purity apply to you.
