Hmm... It could be a withdrawal effect from getting of BCPs, in which case it is nothing to worry about, but if it continues for a few more cycles, you might want to mention it to your doctor.

My first cycle off BCP, I spotted for about 5 days before getting AF. That never happened while on BCP, and on cycle #2 off BCP I only had about half a day of spotting before AF came full force. If you are concerned, I would definitely head to the dr, but that sounds similar to what I had. (I was on BCP for

Welcome to a body off BC! You will be amazed by how many things you begin to notice about your body that never existed while you were on BC. Spotting does not need to be bright red and thick in order to be considered spotting. I had many cycles with brownish colored creamy CM before AF would show. Just mark is on your chart as spotting. Once you see red blood flow you'll know AF has showed. GL!

Well, it seems that I am not insane! Thanks for the notes, I appreciate hearing that others have experienced this too. I think I am going to get my AF today, I have pretty bad cramps which is sign for me typically!


Never thought I would be this excited to get my AF! Ha! Now on with the TTC, for this cycle!


Thanks Ladies!


Best of luck to you all!
