Period Early and Light??

Hi

Just looking for a bit of advice please. I was on the marina coil until April this year when I had it taken out and I went onto the pill until September when my partner and I decided to try for a baby. I have 2 children already however this will be his first.

Since coming off the pill in September I had 2 normal periods one at the end of September and then one exactly 4 weeks later at the end of October. I have been keeping a rough idea on my ovulation dates but have sex regularly throughout the month.

This month my 'period' came 4 days earlier than I expected on Thursday, I didn't expect it until Monday just passed. It has been light and only lasted 2 days now I am just getting some brown CM but barely enough to even warrant a liner. I had something similar to this when I was pregnant with my son so I took a test on Sunday which came back negative and another this morning which was also negative. I have been feeling crampy and had some tightening/pulling feelings in my lower stomach.

I'm just wondering if anyone thinks I'm maybe too early to test or is it most likely my body still getting used to things after the pill.

Thanks Smile

I had a weirdly similar experience. I had the copper coil, had it taken out, and ten days later had a pretty normal period. (I’m very regular). Then, half way through the next cycle I had nausea, tiredness, aversion to food (eggs) sore breasts. AF arrived pretty much on time but was light and lasted two days. I have never had such a short period in my life. All the symptoms disappeared and I had a BFN when I tested 3 days after my period ended. I have no idea what happened.
I’m sorry I don’t have any answers but thought I’d share the weirdness of it!

@lulahloo thank you for the reply. I am the same never had a period that was so light and short but BFN when testing. I put it down to my body just getting back to normal and started a fresh this month.

I started using clear blue ovulation kit on Friday and was showing as Peak on Sunday! Did not expect to be ovulating so early and goes to show the dates I was using before for ovulation were out by about a week (that was just a rough date thought based on cycle length etc). So I am now on 1 DPO and kind of excited to see if anything happens this month Smile

Had anyone ever come on period week early and started straight away? Normally I’ll have light bleeding then next day come on fully there’s also hardly anything on pad but some when I wipe ? I done a pregnancy test the day before I started bleeding ( didn’t think I was pregnant I always do them regular) and it was negative I haven’t lost any clots or anything because Iv had early miscarriages before I am worried it’s that again always get worried about haemorrhaging ( anxiety’s fault 😩)
