Hey ladies, I posted this in postnatal support but have had ZERO replies. Not sure where else to put this.
I am 8 months postpartum and stopped breastfeeding 2 months ago. I have not had a postpartum period until now, if that's what it is. I've been ridiculous about googling my symptoms and have read up on implantation bleeding but I also understand this could be my body trying to get back to normal although my "normal" is irregular lol.
Here's my symptoms:
Last Saturday and Sunday (April 25th and 26th), I had tiny pink drops on the toilet paper. Not even enough to make any spots on my underwear. It was not continuous it was a little bit Saturday and a little bit Sunday. Then, a few days of NOTHING. Wednesday evening (April 29th), nothing in my underwear but red on the toilet paper so I figured AF was visiting finally. Thursday and Friday (yesterday and today) have been nothing but brown spotting. Little bit on the pantyliner and little bit on tp. My periods before getting pregnant always started out consistently moderate to borderline heavy and would taper at the end, not the beginning. I've taken several pregnancy tests which came up negative. I would be delighted if it were positive but we are not trying or preventing at the moment. I've had a recent pap smear (few weeks ago) and the results from that were clean. Anyone have a similar experience? I've ALWAYS had irregular periods but they've always been consistent in the amount of days they've lasted and have always been the same amount of lining passed. (sorry for the TMI)
Any help or commentary is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
