Hey! Sorry for the long winded post...
I have had this happen a few times since my twinnies, and the gyns just give me the old "It takes time for your body to heal, don't worry about it." My last two or three AFs were finally normal. No excessive pain, followed the usual length and pattern. I thought things were getting better. Then I got this weird period...
What is weird about it?
A- I had two days of spotting instead of 1 on 12dpo and 13dpo. 12dpo I only had blood if I inserted tissue into the vaginal cavity a bit and it came out as a pink tinge, nothing on the pad. 13dpo it started making its way to the pad in the afternoon, still pink but not heavy enough to fill a fraction of a panty liner. I have had a fair number of cycles since the twins that had two days of spotting though so not super strange.
B- It was a day late (not unheard of but still weird), so it officially started on 14dpo. I had a LOT of tiny clots as opposed to the giant clots I usually get on the first day.
C - My temp usually drops but stays above coverline while spotting then drops below on CD 1. My BBT on CD 1 it dropped to 98.14 and then CD 2 it fell below cover to 97.58. This has never happened before.
D- It hasn't gotten heavy and seems to be ending. I haven't bled onto my pad all morning and have minimal spotting when I go to the bathroom.
E- I have ZERO cramping. On CD 1, I had excruciating pain but not cramps and they only happened on my right side. The same pain I had with my other weird periods. Yesterday and today I feel perfectly fine. Backache and nausea, but otherwise fine.
I have a pap smear on Wednesday so I was planning on telling the gyn about the reappearance of this bizzaro AF. I'm definitely not pregnant, so just curious how high my level of concern should be/ what kinds of questions should I be asking my gyn. Thanks for making it through this long post/ for any thoughts!
