Postpartum AF Question (XP Toddler Board)

I am still nursing DD and just recently dropped her nursing sessions from 3 down to 2 times a day.  On Sunday I noticed a little bit of brown discharge when I wiped and Monday I noticed a slightly heavier flow  but still pretty light (now reddish brown) I also had cramps and a backache.  Yesterday and today it's almost totally gone (no need for a pad).  Just trying to figure out what's going on, did anyone have a really light period the first time? Not even sure if I would call it a period!

  • My periods have been really light while breastfeeding my toddler.   My last one was two days long and very light for both days.  I've had my period since 3 months postpartum and they've all been really light.   I was one the verge of going into see the doctor about it when I found out I was pregnant.

    Thank you for this!  You answered my second question which would be whether it was even possible to get pregnant under these circumstances.  Thanks and congratulations!
