Ok so here is my story. After my first child was born, my hubby and I decided to get an IUD. It worked wonderfully and I never got my period (wonderful side effect).
A couple months ago, my hubby and I started talking about baby number 2 and as if my body understood, I got light spotting and what felt like cramps starting Nov. 3 and lasting for about 3-4 days. Well we had the IUD removed on Nov. 14th. Two days later I got what I thought was my period. Not having had it in almost 3 years, I am only guessing. It was lighter than it used to be, but all the other signs were there and it lasted for 4-5 days. I figured light was normal since an IUD thins your uterus so a light AF seamed usual.
So now I am spotting again. Started on December 5th. It is lighter than I would expect and a brighter red (sorry for the detail). I have the fun menstrual cramps that go with AF, but my mind keeps telling me I am prego (keep having dreams about it, and well, I just don't feel right).
Ok so here is where I get confused. Pre baby number 1, my AF wasn't regular, but came every 33+ days. If I count the spotting in beginning of Nov. as AF, then what was the bleeding mind Nov. If I count my Nov 16th event as AF then I am only 20 days past AF and am getting it again. I thought maybe it was implantation bleeding, but it has lasted for 3 days at this point and well... heaver than what I would consider light bleeding, and I am getting cramps. And I never had implantation bleeding with baby number one.
Help... All opinions welcome.
Thanks
