Okay. Some of you know my story and some of you don't but here it is in a nut shell. I'm a regular 27-28 day cycle kinda gal. Never been late except for the time of was pg with my ds and for a couple of months when I stopped BF (which, was over a year ago). Anyway, this was our first month of ttc#2. I was seven days late (took hpt's throughout the week and all were BFN) when AF showed up on Friday (yesterday). Well, I thought that was it. AF usually visits 5 days then leaves (day 1-3 heavy with days 4 & 5 being more on the lighter side. Well, like I said, after 7 days post AF, she showed up like a normal period (heavy flow, red, some cramping but mostly normal stuff). However, today, I'm hardly bleeding at all. Very light, hardly even messing a tampon (I know, TMI) and it's only day 2 of my cycle. So what's up with that? Could something else be going on? Could I be having a m/c, even though I'm not really feeling any bad cramps? Or, could I maybe be pg and just bleeding? I don't really understand that if it's just a normal period, why it was 7 days late and then not acting like a normal period once it's here.

Someone help explain, please. Should I be concerned?

Thanks,

Susan

Just an update. My bleeding has completely stopped. I put a new tampon in before I went to bed last night (about 11:30 p.m.) and when I got up this morning at 6:00 a.m. there was no blood. I put another one in just in case this morning and I just took that one out and again, no blood. Sorry if this is a little to discriptive. Anyway, if this is my AF, why is it acting so funny. What usually lasts 5 days, only lasted 1 1/2 days.

Isldgoddes said it might be my hormones, but why would they be doing this this month of all months. My period has always lasted 5 days.

So, to recap, 7 days late and short (1 1/2 day) AF. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, and you weren't pg, how did you count your days for the next month of ttc?
