After a long break postpartum and after breastfeeding, AF has returned regularly now for a few cycles. I am usually 32 to 35 days (well, this cycle was 30 days, so a little shorter!).
AF is slow to start and slow to finish and it is has been this way since AF returned. Day one spotting usually only lasts a few hours then AF starts properly, with CD2 being the heaviest flow, but at the end of AF I am getting 2 days of just spotting. It is annoying!
This cycle I have been spotting for over 3 days now!!!! After having proper AF for 4 days!
Does this mean anything?
Is it anything to do with having caesars?
What could the spotting be? I am only spotting around my period, not at any other time of my cycle.
I am just a little concerned because we are TTC again and had problems concieving #2 and just hoping that nothing is really wrong!!!
I think it may have happened after one of my last two (can't remember which one). I don't think it was AF... I think, from memory, AF came a couple of weeks later.
I wouldn't worry too much about it, it can take a while for our bodies to get back to some normality after a baby.
Saw the Dr. Apparently spotting after AF is not a sign of anything, it is just a nuisance. It cannot be treated.
I was told that if I was spotting before AF it could be a sign of endometriosis.
Nevertheless, I have been given a slip for an ultrasound if it happens again in the next couple of cycles - just to check - but it is unlikely that anything is wrong.
Spotting with AF! Is this normal?
After having proper AF for 4 days!
