1st pp period really light??

I've heard people talk about how horrible their 1st period was.  I *think* I'm having my period now, but it is super light.  I stopped pp bleeding at about 3.5 weeks.  Now, at 5.5 weeks I've had period-like cramps and just feel like it's my period.  However, the bleeding is basically just spotting and has been for the last 3 days.  Was anyone else's 1st period very light?  I see my dr tomorrow for my 6 wk appt, so I'll ask her about it too.

 If it makes a difference, I FF as well.  I BF for the 1st week.

    I still had some pp bleeding up till about 6 weeks.  I had thought it had stopped for about a week, and then some light stuff came back again.  I felt some period like cramps but I think it was my uterus shrinking.  I BF though, so that might make it different, I'm sure your doctor will have a better guess!

    Have you started any type of BC? I stopped bleeding at about 2.5 weeks, then bled for 4 days around 7 weeks.... a week after I started BC. I guess since it was related to BC it was probably not considered a period. Still hvn't had a real one.
