Okay..well first of all, AF showed Tuesday the 23rd. It's now just turning Friday, and..well Im pretty much done with AF.. Usually at first, she starts off brownish, and turns to red, and at the end, she leaves with a brown effect too. Well, she's brown now.. and it's only been what? 3 days? I didn't really bleed THAT heavy, I mean i've bled alot heavier than what I have. This time, it was like a regular flow for me. But..she never leaves me this early! The brown don't appear until the 5-6th day. So is the red sea slowing down ALOT because of the way it started? or something else. I know I didn't explain this very well, but please try to understand and post what you think lol. Thanks =) If you need something explained better, i'll try. But Yeah, Thanks again.

I think AF is AF is AF. I've had so many weird, short, light periods since coming off BCP and none of them have indicated that I'm pg :(

This month for instance AF was so light all it was was a slight discoloration on the tissue after peeing (sorry TMI!) for about 3 days, then about 1 day of brownish spotting. And that was it!

I'm pretty sure I'm not pg 'cos my temps are down. So either any bleeding at all is a normal AF or else I'm not ovulating.

I've had a blood test and the doctor said I AM ovulating, plus I do have the normal temperature signs.

Do you monitor BBT to be sure you're ovulating?

Probably not the answer you are looking for but I've had AF do that. I've had her bright red, go brown in the middle then come back bright red, I've also done the shorter than normal thing, it doesn't do this all the time but every once in a while... HTH Sorry if its not want you wanted to hear.
