I also posted this on the am I pregnant board, cause that's where I originally came from. Let me know if you girls can lend any advise.

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

Hi Susan,

Doubt that I'm going to be much help here but wanted to thank you. I too have been having a similar experience this month. Since I stopped taking bcps 6 or 7 months ago my cycles have been getting shorter and shorter (I work with a group of women so I assumed this was my body getting in synch with theirs).

This month however at day 24 (which is when I expect AF to show up) I had some brown spotting, next day nothing, third day bright red spotting and then that was it. I've never had a period like this tomorrow but have no other pregnancy symptoms and I'm very hesitant to take an hpt because I don't want to set myself up for disappointment.

Anyway, sorry I couldn't help answer your questions but just know that you're not the only one. Here's hoping we'll both have BFPs soon.
