Question about Aunt Flo

Hi Ladies!! Hope all is well with all of you :)

Ok so ... I got my period on Monday, which was very very light! The rest of the day, it was super light or barely even there, then it was gone & has been gone. I'm one who always has a 6-7 day period, always heavy through out the middle of it. Of course, I start to Google some things. Pregnancy has come up on a lot of the links & posts.

I know we have had some pregnancies on the board so I was wondering if this happened to any of you before you found out you were pregnant? If you haven't been pregnant, has this ever happened to you?

I'm thinking I should just go buy some pregnancy tests & either rule it out or rule it in lol. What do you think?

Thanks ladies!

Re: Question about Aunt Flo

  • Prior to starting on the pill, my periods were all 6-8 days long and heavy throughout. I would occasionally experience what you did. I've never been pregnant.  I've noticed it happens more so when I am really stressed.  The only times I've tested are the months were my period didn't show up (which has been happening a lot on this new pill- either its super light for a day, or its non showing up at all!).  If it would give you piece of mind, I'd test.

  • My cycles have definitely changed,  and have had a couple that were light since July.   I think it would be worth calling a doctor and getting things checked out if it is the same next month!
  • Test.  It will make you feel better to know one way or the other.

    My cycle really changed after I went off the pill and it took a while to get fairly regular.  I will say, after going off the pill, I was getting a light period/spotting about 5-7 days before my actual period.  It only lasted a day at the most.  Once it regulated, I starting temping and found that my cycle was normally 31-34 days long, not 28.  It messed with my head for a while.

  • are you on birth control?  When I was on a different pill then I am now, I would sometimes spot or get a really light period in the middle of it until my body got used to it.  I think sometimes the hormones don't align with your body quite right or something.

    I didn't have any spotting before I got my BFP, but I have read that it's possible.   I did have spotting a week or two after my BFP for a day or two though.

  • Mine was like this my most recent cycle because I was under so much stress with my thesis. 

    I had some scant spotting the day before my BFP but it was literally only a few drops.

    I'd test just for peace of mind!!

  • It's possible it may have been IB (Implantation Bleeding) but it also may be a weird AF. I'd def recommend taking a test just to know for sure. Walmart tests that are $.88 and $ Store tests work just as well as the $10+ tests just FYI.

  • Are you on BC or trying to get pregnant?  Also, I agree with pp.  Take a test so you will know and you can stress less.  Keep us posted!!
