pregnant???

Okay, so I haven't had my period in 14 months, since the last 6 week one after my son was born. I'm still nursing him once before bedtime.

Anyway, a few days ago I got my period, along with a headache, some nausea, lower backache and some mild cramps. Before my son was conceived I had pretty light periods that started off heavier and then tapered off... never having many other side effects, sometimes mild cramps (and it lasted about 7 days).

So I got my period a few days ago, but it wasn't heavy at all... it's been more like spotting, the next day I had some also, it started of slightly pinkish and then the second day went to a burgundy colour. In the last two days I haven't seen anything. When I got pregnant with my son I had two days of spotting when he was being implanting in my uterus. The last few days I've also had on and off nausea. I haven't taken a pregnancy test yet bc I don't want to be disappointed. We're ready to have a second baby...

So what do you think? Has anyone maybe had the same sort of thing when their period was returning? Because after talking to my mom and friends they all said it was heavier the first time back or about the same as before.

Any advice/input would be great! Thanks :)
