Short AF??
Ok, the background bit...
Stopped pill end of March, had withdrawal bleed, this is second natural bleed. Withdrawal bleed was 8 days, first natural bleed was 9 days (with a bit of spotting day before CD 1, not counted.)
This time had spotting late evening Tuesday, Wednesday called CD 1, red af with full cramps and backache (while I was having to concentrate at work...the witch!!) Thursday and Friday, lighter bleeding no pains.
?Today absolutely nothing so far??? ?
So what is all that about? Do you think I have had an af of 3 days? Does it mean anything? Will I start to bleed again later? Help! (Please...)

I did bleed yesterday, reasonably lightly. But nothing it appeared overnight again. ? I an obviously still having af, but it is a lot lighter than last month, and I can't work out why it seems to stop at night?
Anyway, I'm grateful it's not heavy, if it stops earlier than my last 8 and 9 days, so be it. Just as long as ov happens I'm happy. My luteal phase seems to be about 15 days. xx
Thought I would reply as I have had this also, I came of the pill in Nov last year and since had very regular AF - 28 days but v.light. probably only lasting 1 day but stop start spotting.
I went to the doctors and he did a blood test, all my hormones came back ok but I had a slightly raised prolactin level. I think it is the pill though and my body needs to sort it self out.
The doctor did say that this does not affect your fertility and keep trying - so as you say as long as you ov who cares!!!
Who would have thought we would be complaining about a short pain free AF!!!
Good luckx
I came off the pill in March and then had light bleeding during the day and nothing at night - my last proper period with pain was last week so I think it takes a while for your body to sort itself out. i was on the POP so don't know if it makes a difference. xx
Nice to know other people have had the same thing.
You are right mardy, I never thought I'd complain about not having an af, or a change in it! xx
