Anyone else? V light period after coming off of contraception

[Heidi6824]

I came off of contraception in March and have since had fairly regular cycles (between 23-29 days) however they are incredibly light - not really needing to use anything, and only really spotting for 2/3 days.

This cycle I started getting spotting 7DPO (have also got back ache), but it's so difficult to know if it is a period or not because I'm so light. I don't want to get my hopes up and take a test when I'm sure it's just AF early (my BBT has dropped) but it's very frustrating!

I'm only on cycle 2 of TTC#1 so am trying not to think too much but let's be honest, that's not going to happen 🤦🏼‍♀️ Just concerned that my luteal phase is far too short (it was only 9 days last cycle and if this is AF then it's only been 7 days this time).

Has anyone else been in this situation?

Hi @Heidi6824

Do you track your ovulation?

Hi *@Heidi6824*

Do you track your ovulation?

Hello, yes. I got a peak on CD14.

I did take a test this morning but think it was just wishful thinking. AF due Sunday/Monday if the bleeding earlier this week wasn't AF. I didn't have to use anything. Tiny bit of dark spotting on Tuesday. Small bit of bright red/pink on Wednesday and Thursday but only for an hour or so.

Sounds promising! But I can't really see anything on the picture sorry... I mean something is there but it's not really clear?

No I didn't think I could either. I'm sure it's negative and AF, just wish AF was a bit heavier so it's easier to be sure thank you
