I'm 25 almost 26 yrs old, I have a 7 yr old little boy. My periods were extremely regular up until i had my son. Then it took about a year after his birth for me to find a regular rythm again. which went from every 28 days to every 29. Then for 2 yrs I had a merina IUC, until it was naturally expelled from my body in spring of last year. When the IUC came out I chose not to replace it with any BC hoping that I could get my body back from the hormones before looking into a new BC, I started out having irregular periods again. Some where 25 days apart and others 45. about 5 months ago it seemed to have settled back into a rythm again with cycles being every 31 days. but my periods are getting shorter in length and lighter in flow. Previously I was a 5-6 day period each month. Now its 2-3 days with only one day of any real bleeding. With each period getting less bleeding and shorter in length. so this month was 3 days of spotting, (two light and one day with dark brown sludge) thats it. I'm getting worried that this might be something hormonal. in the begining i was thrilled, I mean who wouldnt be? But I absolutely want more children. I don't want to go whine to my dr though if this is no big deal. I don't have any pelvic pain etc. I do however have autoimmune disorders (Lupus, RA) that give me chronic exhaustion and other symptoms that could mask symptoms from other things. If I'm exhausted daily who's to say what's causing it ya know? Anyway, any and all advise or info would be greatly appreciated! thank you!!!!
