    AF day 9 still spotting...

    I gave birth 9 months ago this is my third period after giving birth. This time I was a day late while I normally never am ... usually my period is 5-7 days but today already on day 9 and still spotting (brown-pink, sorry tmi) at 5 dpo had pulling pains

    Are my hormones no longer correct? Or could it be that a fertilized egg was implanted after all, but it has perished?

    Ps: do not take a pill / IUD or any hormones

    It's normal to have wonky cycles for awhile after giving birth. Your hormones are fluctuating and if you're breastfeeding, this can make it even more wonky. I had longer, spottier periods for at least a year after my first postpartum AF from DS3 before it went back to what is a typical AF for me. It is always possible you had a chemical but without a positive pregnancy test, it's hard to say. Most likely it's just funky hormones from being postpartum.

    It's very normal to have goofy cycles even up to 12-18 months after giving birth, even if you are not breastfeeding (and even more so if you are)

    How did you determine ovulation?
