    what is going on?

    ok, way back after DS was born I didn't have af return til he was 9 months old. it started out at 6 - 8 weeks apart & stayed like that for about 12 months.
    then in november 09 i started getting it every 2 - 3 weeks. i was about to go see my gp when i got my bfp for dd3. i honestly didn't think i'd be able to concieve when my body was all over the shop like that & didn't want to go on contraceptives til i got checked out.

    so, this time around af returned when DD3 was 13 months old. she's now 15 months old & it was every 3 or so weeks the first time, but recently its getting closer. my last af was about the 11th or 12 of this month & i woke up to it again this morning, less than 2 weeks later.

    i figured last time it must've been an ovulation bleed, since i conceived DD around the time of my last af, but this time i was on depo. it ran out on about the 10th of this month, i had af twice i think while on it. unusual for me...

    i don't really know what to do, or if i should worry? the depo didn't stop af like it usually does for me & now its ended, nothing has changed.

    i've never had issues before, but i'm really over it. i guess it could possibly be stress, but what was it last time it was doing this? & i've been under alot of stress before & this has never happened. i was always regular before the last 2 kids. & i've been using depo on & off for about 9 years & only ever had spotting the first time i was on it. never 3 or 4 days of af.

    Remember you have been through alot lately. Give your body a couple of months to heal then if you are still having problems see a GP.

    My SPD is so much worse with AF... I've been doing the cooking for my brothers business (3 - 4 hours a day) & have been fine til today. I feel like I'm going to fall apart
