Day 9 Spotting

[Reiko_ctu]

Hey ladies. Haven’t been on here in ages. Not TTC anymore and finally have AF back after nursing (still nursing but only 3x per day).

I’ve noticed my cycle is different in an annoying way and wondered if anyone has any insight. My cycle is about 25-26 days, but I’m bleeding for a full 7. Day 8 is usually nothing but then there’s more spotting/brown on day 9. This is very annoying to be bleeding for 1/3 of my cycle! Any thoughts? I’m also trying to remember what supplement I took to lengthen my cycle before when TTC!

TIA for any thoughts ladies!!

The spotting/brown blood is probably just old blood left over from af. Is it heavier than before? My af has definitely been longer and heavier at times since having kids. As for length it could be hormones trying to regulate now that you don’t breastfeed as much, but still breastfeeding some. If it becomes concerning you should get checked out. I just took pre-natals til I was done breastfeeding altogether.
