I got my real period 5 weeks later and it is as miserable as I was warned it would be. But at least this means we can think about TTC again </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-postpartum-period-just-spotting#post-2748493 Fri, 16 Jun 2017 16:48:25 +0000 QBbride 2748493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My first PP period was spotting too, then a real period the next month (13m PP). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-postpartum-period-just-spotting#post-2748447 Fri, 16 Jun 2017 15:04:59 +0000 Dahlia 2748447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had the spotting, then a few weeks later I got a real, heavy period and they've been very heavy since. I weaned DD at 16 months, the spotting happened right after that, and the period about a month after weaning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-postpartum-period-just-spotting#post-2748421 Fri, 16 Jun 2017 14:19:11 +0000 Pollywog 2748421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pachamama: @avivoca: This is really helpful. I'm expecting the blood bath, but I also haven't had a real period since high school. I have no idea what to expect. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-postpartum-period-just-spotting#post-2748415 Fri, 16 Jun 2017 14:10:02 +0000 skinnycow 2748415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>^ This is what mine was like also (and is still a bloodbath after 7-8 cycles). I didn't have any spotting beforehand. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-postpartum-period-just-spotting#post-2748400 Fri, 16 Jun 2017 13:54:07 +0000 avivoca 2748400@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My first PP period after baby 1 was a bloodbath. It looked like a murder happened in my pants. This time, I had the warning spotting like you had for three weeks and now nothing. So I feel like the bloodbath is coming, I just don't know when. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-postpartum-period-just-spotting#post-2748390 Fri, 16 Jun 2017 13:41:56 +0000 pachamama 2748390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pollywog: HEY GIRL! I could have written this. Mine was EXACTLY like this 16 months PP , but I had stopped nursing like 2 weeks prior It was like a little warning period. I think like 3 weeks later I got a real period, pretty heavy but not toooo bad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-postpartum-period-just-spotting#post-2748374 Fri, 16 Jun 2017 13:13:10 +0000 Pollywog 2748374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am 16 months postpartum and still waiting for AF to return (still nursing) . I was pretty sure I ovulated on Tuesday and have had very, very light red spotting since then. Like not even a pantyliner is needed. This is nothing like the horrible, heavy periods my friends have had. </p> <p>So has anyone had something like this? Google leads me to implantation bleeding which isn't exactly helpful :silly: </p>
