Is this something that happens to people sometimes or am I doing something with swaying to cause this?
My usual periods are very light and only last 3 to 4 days. I usually have 2 days of moderate bleeding and spotting the rest of the time.
However, this month I am now on CD 2 and the light spotting has just about stopped. I only had a moderate flow yesterday morning and by evening it was so light I wouldn't even use a tampon.
We are having our attempt this month.... I did just test to be sure and it was negative (thankfully, for now).
Could any part of swaying cause this? Is this a bad sign? That I didn't have much to shed....
I've been LE (vegetarian) for over a month now with the 7 weeks prior doing IG.
Only supps are folic acid, saw palmetto, and vitex. Vitex I've only been on for about 5 weeks. I've quit the vitex and sp recently as I'm starting clomid tomorrow. (Swaying purposes only).
Also I do an hour cardio 5 to 6 days a week which I started 5 weeks ago.
My last period (26 days ago) was normal .
Sorry if that's too much infoI've just never experienced such a short period before.

I think it could be the vitex. Are you drinking a heap of peppermint tea? I totally stopped AF once with that (it was a lot - like 4 bags 4 times a day) or have you dropped lots of weight really quickly?.But don't freak out and try to gain any though if you have. I'm sure atomic will have some good advice when she sees this for you. I think it will all be ok. Pink dust to you

Thank you for your response :-)
No I haven't been drinking peppermint tea since I was taking sp and vitex. I was wondering if it could be the vitex....
And no I haven't dropped a ton of weight... When I started to sway in October I was 117 lbs.... I've lost about 5 lbs but have been holding steady at 112 or sometimes 113 for about 2 months.(2009)

I am like you, I've always had light, short periods (3 days average, 4 days max, sometimes 2 days). Since swaying on and off for over 2 years my AFs are even lighter and shorter, and at least twice I've had only 1 day of flow followed by spotting exactly like you described. I have taken Vitex at points but my shortest AFs were off Vitex. I think it's the diet, my diet was quite different before. If you are on Clomid you should be fine, that will stimulate nice strong O.
Good luck!Last edited by maidentomother; January 9th, 2016 at 06:15 AM.
My Ovulation Chart currently TTC, Cycle #16 since last BFP
TTC #1- swaying pink on & off since Nov 2013 - hoping for a girl first but excited for either!
Dec 2001 - May 2006 : 5 early abortions of healthy singletons (3 medical @5w, 2 surgical @8w, last 4 pregnancies conceived with late DH, all conceived while TTA/on birth control)

Me: 34, widowed, late O + short LP, normal-good hormone levels excepting undetectable testosterone, seeking a known sperm donor/life partner
My sway: vegetarian LE for over 28w, skipping breakfast, fibre (ground psyllium husks) with/before/between meals, physically inactive, drama avoidance, ocassional minimal YesBaby lube as needed, alternate cycles on low dose Clomid, double shot lattes (with meals)
Past sway tactics I've dropped (in order): Vitex, Sudafed, antihistamines, intermittent fasting, one attempt per cycle at positive OPK, one attempt in fertile period

We see that all the time with swaying and it may indicate you're more pink friendly than you were before. My cycles were very light and short the 2 months before I got my daughter and several others have reported this as well. I also went from 3-4 day cycles to 1/2. We have all been able to get pregnant anyway so I would just keep up with what you're doing, the Clomid would fix any issue with estrogen anyway.
