period? spotting?

[ClassyMrsA]

Hey ladies. Yesterday I had some bright red spotting twice. None today so far. I figured it was my period starting, but so far nothing is happening. I was wondering if anyone has experienced something like this with a first period or breakthrough bleeding.

I'm ebf and she's just over 4 months. Taking progesterone only bc, too.

I would guess breakthrough bleeding, but not sure with the bc.

I second breakthrough bleeding. Cycles can be weird PP. I know my first one was, and I got it even though we are EBF. I now have Mirena so I have had some spotting off an on but no AF.

It's probably breakthrough bleeding.

BUT, I got my first PP period at 2 months with DS and 5 months with DD. Both were exclusively breastfed and were nursing every 2-3 hours. So it is possible that it's your period.

Thanks ladies. I realize it's a silly thing to be disturbed by, but I never have had spotting like that before. I bet it is just breakthrough bleeding.

A really fun game is when you have break through spotting AND 'roids at the same time. Then you get to play "where is the blood coming from."

Breakthrough probably. I was on the progesterone-only for a while and had lots (and I mean very frequent) spotting. Just an FYI.

And madameovary - Your comment is hilarious. 'Roids are not.
