Last month I showed O on my chart, then instead of af I got 2 weeks of light spotting, like brown mixed in w/ my cervical mucus. This month, It appears I have not ovulated yet. Then yesterday, CD 35 I started experiencing this crazy spotting again! Except this time it's little more red but this is the weirdest part, it is almost (tmi alert) like a brownish, organge, yellow at times. Like small amounts of blood mixed with cm, not bright or dark red.

Another thing, on top of this weird flow, (which I am guessing is anovulatory bleeding??) I don't know if I should consider this a start to a new cycle or not. It ihas not been very heavy, just a little when I wipe and yesterday a little on my panties. So, do I consider this a new cycle or just note spotting on my chart and keep with the same cycle? What would you do?

I hace been off the pill 6 months. I had long cycles, but regular afs before now... but now it's like my body is going crazy! I thought I was supposed to get more normal the longer I was off pill? Please let me know what you would do about starting a new cycle or not. Also, has anyone had this weird spotting/flow before? I feel like each day is a new surprise w/ my body!

well, I was off bc for over 8 months, and my cycle never returned to normal...just an fyi. but you shouldnt start counting a new cycle until your fist day of RED bleeding. The spotting you see might be from implantation, or just "old" blood that was up there from before, and you system is just getting it out now. (my dr. gave me this explanation when I went through this.) Have you done a hpt??

No, I haven't taken a hpt but I don't think I have a chance of being pg. I can't even detect O from my chart, it is just a bunch of up and down erratic temps.

You said you were off bc for 8 mos. and your cycles never went back to normal. How long ago was that? Are you still experiencing irregular cycles now? If not, what have you done to regulate them?
