Really light period with none of the usual symptoms

I have PCOS, and before I had my son I used to have around 2/3 periods a year. I had my son 18 months ago and in the last 8 months since stopping breastfeeding I've been fairly regular, almost monthly for the first time ever. I had my last period starting Christmas Day, a month on from the last, heavy, really bad cramps, lasted a few days.

2 days ago I had blood when I wiped, and have been bleeding a bit ever since. Having to wear a pad but not filling it. No cramps or anything at all and so light! And it's not been that long since my last one finished. Definitely can't be pregnant, haven't had sex!

We've decided to start trying for our second, and I was thinking now would be a good time to start tracking again as I'm on but, am I on? It's not usual?

Hi, I also have pcos and my periods were a nightmare between my two ds. I breastfed for a year but periods came back at 6 months. Fine at first but then just constant spotting for 20 days at a time. I bled for 19 days then stopped for 10 then bled for 23 days then was referred to gynae and they said my lining was abnormally thick but that turned out to be because I was pg with ds2. I have no idea how I got pregnant or when I ovulated. I'm now 9 months pp and it's all happening again. No idea ifvor when it'll settle down. All I can say is keep trying in between cycles. With my second we dtd the day after my 23 day bleed and I got pg so who knows!

Sorry to not be any more help. I hate periods and I hate pcos!
