Aunt Flow Questions

March 24, 2008

This may be TMI, but my flow is usually so heavy I have to change my tampon evey 2 hours, but so far this cycle it has been extermely light, is this common? Should I be worried?

March 24, 2008

See if it gets heavier in the next couple of days...then that'll be cd1...

March 24, 2008

so is it not a good idea to count this as cd1? I am so confused

March 24, 2008

Texas- your first day of full flow is your day 1.

thanks caryn, so what should i put on my chart? light spotting?

March 24, 2008

Texas- yes :)

Okay ladies i knmw this is TMI, but like i said before i usually have a really haeavy flow but this month it was light. really light. the first three days it was extremly light (spotting if u want to call it that), the next two days its was full flow (but still not as heavy) and then last night it got real light again, now today its gone.

Does that sound normal? I am so confused I have never had a period like this before. My periods are normally really heavy and last for about 10 days. this cycle was light for the most part and only lasted about 6 days. is this unusual?

thank you for responding kanetra. i know AF vafies but it just startled me cause mine never does. when i say never i mean never.

Texas- that normal- I get AF and have it all of 36 hours! never spot- its light then heavy then light- then its gone....I think as you age its changes- when I was younger (I am 31) I had AF for 5 days, but now its shorter-

thank you caryn! if you havent noticed yet i have a tendency to over react, very easily

TexasGirl, Were you on any type of birth control prior to the AF?

March 27, 2008

no. I was on the depo shot about 4 years ago (that really scrwed my cycle up), but i havent used anythin recently.
