Hi Girls
Thought Id post this in here I got AF on the 17th Feb, bang on time as usual, then on the 1rd March I got some random bleeding, like a light AF, but red blood and it lasted maybe 3 days. So mny AF was due yesterday going by the 17th date. Do I go by original date seems as that was smack bang on time(28 days) or do I go by the random 3 days AF??? 
Edited-Sorry I meant to type 1st March ------------- |

that's a hard one - I think you'll just have to wait and see what happens...depends what ya hormones are doing... Have you had unexpected bleeding like that before? are you breastfeeding? ------------- mum to 3 lovely girls :D |

I'd go by the first AF... the second bleed sounds like a bit of a break-through bleed.... ------------- Formerly Wishin41 |

Freckle, I am only BF'ding once a day and sometimes not at all, and Ive never had bleeding like that before, it was very random.
Wishin41, I think it would be too early for breakthru bleeding..? With both my kids I bled in the first 6-8 weeks, and also had a m/c before Caden. I dont feel UTD though, apart from peeing like a cow lol, but I get that before AF anyways.. ETA- Going by my ovulation calender thing, my AF is 2 days late(going byt the 17th) ------------- |

I recently started having random bleeding here and there and gynae reckons it's a hormonal imbalance... so could be that BFing is still effecting ya hormones...
Some people get a little bit of spotting with ov but sounds like it was more than that... I would think it was way too early for an implantation bleed...but maybe do an HPT to be sure... golly I dunno... confusing ------------- mum to 3 lovely girls :D |

Yeah true, could well have been from a fluctuation in your hormones... ------------- Formerly Wishin41 |

| Sounds like break through bleeding which can happen every now and then apparently. I suppose it is possible that it has also made your period late. |

Yeah could be the hormones I guess! I will test just incase...but Im thinking its probably to do with hormones then.
Ive had regular AF's since I got Af back which was 4 nearly 5 months ago, they have always been bang on time and Bella hasnt been fully breastfed since she was 3 months old. Gah, I hate when the body goes out of wack!! ------------- |

The bleeding was enough to have to wear a pad though, on the second day but nothing like my normal AF, and the first day it was basicly just when I wiped, and the heaviest it got was like red, but no.. "flow" as such, just a dribble(sorry thats go gross I know lol!)

I did an HPT(Discover to be sure it was accurate) and got a BFN, so I guess AF will come 28 days from the last one, so in 10 days time.
Thanks for for the responses :) ------------- |
