Hi MN
I'm after some advice from anyone with more experience please!
I stopped breastfeeding my 7 month old twins about 3 weeks ago (had reduced breast feeds down to just a couple per day for the 3 weeks prior to that), and finally got an almost positive ovulation strip on Xmas eve. Step was negative on Xmas day so I assumed I ovulated on Xmas eve or Xmas day and stopped testing. Today I have been bleeding, but only for a few hours - very light flow then a couple of hours of mediumish flow, then it stopped completely after lunch.
I'm now completely confused as surely this can't have been a proper period at 6dpo, and only lasting for one day so should I assume I didn't ovulate despite the test step? If I did ovulate how on earth did I have a 5 day luteal phase? It was always short at 10 days before my pregnancy but now I'm really worried that it's become even shorter. Or is all this still just messed up hormones from the breastfeeding?
My main question is should I count this weird bleed as day 1 of a new cycle? Sorry for the rambling on! If anyone has any ideas I'd love your advice 😊
