I wasn't sure where else to ask this... so here goes!
TMI... Over the past few months I have noticed that my AF seems to be getting less, this month I had really bad cramps on day 1 (worse than usual), medium flow on day 1, then light flow day 2, even lighter day 3, and today (day 4) it is nearly non existent - only brownish spotting when I wipe. I had faint brownish/pink spotting on the evening before day 1 too. Is this normal?? I'm wondering if it's maybe another reason I'm not getting UTD ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

heya ,
I had the exact same problem and have had since my son was born , my AF can last anywhere from 1 - 3 days and is so incredibly light its like i have not even had my AF my cramps during this time have me doubled over in pain. I had my iron levels etc checked as after 8 months we still had not conceived they were incredibly low so i was popped on iron pills and was told will take a few months to get into my system and here we are 2 months later and i am pregnant with my second , so have you had iron levels tested ? as this affected my body and cycles alot ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">  http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

This is really interesting blondie! I had the same thing as both of you, really heavy and sore AF's when I was younger, went on the pill, came off it and now they seem to be really light but I never thought it would have any relevance! Might try get my iron levels checked too, I wouldn't be surprised if they are low as well. ------------- #1  Angel babies April 2013, Nov 2013 IVF #1 Nov 2013-CP IVF #2 May 2014-BFN IVF #3 Feb 2015-BFN DS Jun 2015-BFN Oct 16 -Natural BFP!

Yeah I had my iron levels checked just a month ago, along with thyroid and some other things, and they were all normal
