light period?

in Miscarriage/Pregnancy Loss
Hi ladies,
just curious... I got my first period after the m/c last week, but I had no cramping, which is unusual for me. Plus, the flow was light and only lasted about 3 days (usually lasts 6 days).
Anyone else have very light periods after their m/c?
thanks!!

    I think I am on the tail end of my period post m/c (but it also could be remnants of my m/c too) -- but if it is my period, I had light normal AF cramping and only about three days of moderate bleeding, three of light -- the rest have been spotting days.  This has been going on for 9 days though.  I am not sure there is a real answer that any of us can give.  Heres to being optimistic that it is though!

    It seems like it varies for everyone.  I am just finishing up my first AF since m/c, and it was pretty close to normal.  I had a very early loss, at 5w3d, so that may make a difference.
    DD1 is 3, DD2 is 1.

    I am having my frist AF right now, and its way heavier and is clotty (which my AF never are).  But then again this is the first period I've had off BCP in 8 years, so mabye this is how it is supposed to be.  Who knows.

    My AF post m/c was very light -- less than 3 days (I'm usually 3-4 days), and no other major symptoms. It was so light I asked on this board, others and even my MD if it really was my cycle returning -- and it was!
    m/c#1 07/16/08 (11 weeks), m/c#2 10/10/08 (8 weeks). and then nothing since except every test possible (no answers). IUI#1 and #2: BFNs Super lucky to be buddies with Peetie. Our out of nowhere, surprise DD born 5/29/2011
