Short visit from AF

So, AF came to visit me last week.  Normally a 4 day event, this time I only had normal flow for 2 days, and then some very occasional spotting for 2 days...which is very weird for my cycle.

I thought maybe I was having some implantation bleeding, but I had a BFN both before AF and after (I double checked after such a short period).  I tried calling my doctor's office today but they are closed due to the ice storm we are due to get today.  Has anyone had any experience with this?

    Sorry you've been left in limbo! I've had this happen, my AF is usually only 2 days of flow and 4 days of spotting, but I've had a cycle or two of one day, light flow with just two days of spotting. 

    Every time i have odd symptoms or a weird cycle I try to convince myself that I must just be one of those ladies who gets a really late BFN....but in reality I know it's just that our hormones are a little different each cycle, causing new/different symptoms. :(

    Hmm that's a little odd... unmedicated cycle I presume? Agree with PoeMasque that most likely it's due to natural hormonal variability...

    Saw RE in July 2016.
    11/16: IUI #1=  BFN.
