Spotting after af
	
	
		Has anyone else had experience of this, is it another consequence of the herbs, diet etc?
Af has always lasted 5 day, 2 heavy, 2 light, 1 spotting. This one started the same but I am still having spotting (it is mucousy blood, sorry tmi!) and af started 8/9 days ago. It is only a little bit but this has never happened to me before

		mm, maybe you had a chemical then?
Or itīs just the hormones that are in a different balance now. I didnīt notice a difference, but now I have looked it up.
In winter/spring when I had 24 day-cycles AF was shorter, last two cycles with delayed O, I had a longer AF too (but only 1-2 days longer).

		Thanks, indira, do you know the signs of a chemical pregnancy, I had mild cramps but nothing that harsh. If it was, do you know if I just carry on tic as normal?

		It's likely just hormones. Low estrogen levels cause spotting.

		It's not exactly spotting, af has just not ended, following the usual heavier days I've had days of mucousy blood, at first it would just come out, enough to need a liner but now it's only when I wipe. Does that sound hormonal?

		I have really long periods now.  I am on day 6 now and it is still light. I figured it was just my hormones.

		What supplements are you taking?

		My periods were like that when I had my IUD so possibly hormones.  What blood thinners are you taking also - do you need to cut back on baby aspirin if you're on that?

		I'm taking folic acid every day and aspirin every other day and saw palmetto and vitex every other day for first 14 days of cycle

		I would maybe skip the aspirin until the bleeding stops - I only take it 3 times a week but still get the occasional odd thing happen like bleeding gums when I brush my teeth.
