Hi,


I'm a bit confused whats going on this cycle. I am 99% sure I am 14dpo (signs: temp rise, positive OPKs) however, I have been getting AF no later than 13dpo the last 4 cycles since being off BCP. I am only a day late, but its kinda weird because I've been getting spotting since 10dpo (which is about when I normally get it) however the last two days, I've had some red (sorry TMI) but not a full AF and I have never had this happen. Basically its like I've been spotting for 5-6days with a little red the last couple days. My temp has gone below coverline the last two days, so I'm just curious if you guys think I'm having a spotting/really light AF instead of a full AF? If so, is this bad??


Thanks! And Happy Holidays! GL to everyone on their journey!

A similar thing happened to me my first cycle off BCP. I got AF on CD14, but it wasn't a normal flow for me. It was just heavy spotting. And I O'd on CD 11. The next two cycles were 32 and 33 days with no O and a four day AF. I am beginning cycle five and things are finally going back to my normal routine. Twenty-nine day cycle with O on day 15 and a five day AF. My GYN said it could take up to six months for your cycle to return to whatever is normal for you. HTH!
