Are your typical AFs? Do you ever stop bleeding for bits of time in them?

♥Ashley♥ · #2 January 26th, 2009, 09:21 AM

I never stop bleeding for any amount of time during them, and they usually last 5 days (sometimes I have an extra day of very light spotting). Are you having a weird AF?

I usually go 3 days, have like 1/2 a day of bleeding on day 4, and it returns for day 5 with a vengeance. Today is CD6 and I haven't bleed since overnight days 3-4. I've been crampy and the only times my AF hasn't been on that schedule were when I had cysts, to my memory.

2-3 days

Please dont stone me. And no stopping, but usually the 3rd day its just light spotting.

Mine is always like 7 days long...with heavy bleeding for the first 3 at least and bad cramping

Mine is usually about 5 days. It has changed since having the boys though. It used to start off really heavy and taper to spotting by day 5 now it starts as spotting/light flow and gets heavy then back to spotting. After the first day or two of heavy flow though I don't bleed at all overnight.

Well as you know Michelle, my cycles are anything but typical.. but I usually have AF anywhere from 5-7 days (although the cycle before this one was almost 10 days) I usually bleed straight through.. there is never a break unfortunately!

Mine are typically 6-7 days, with spotting continuing for another couple

The only time i had it stop is once after DH and I DTD a few days before AF, i spotted that night and then nothing until AF came a couple days later.

3-9 days, and sometimes I stop and then bleed again a day or so later.

Mine were generally 5 days and I never stopped bleeding once it started.

BTW: Your siggy is beautiful!! I LOVE it!!

mine vary. my last AF was 7 days long with 2 days of spottting after that. This cycle I was only spotting at day 3! Though I have had AF's where she would just disappear for a day or two and then return with a vengence. It's like she can read DH's mind. She know he wants to DTD, so she goes away just for a little while.

I'm pretty lucky. I have heavy bleeding for a day, medium/light bleeding for a day and then I spot for 1-3 days. I do have very very painful cramps though.

Thanks Mari! Justine made it. The bottom is some lyrics from a Taylor Swift song and I just love her!

Au natural they are 7 days with a super light day in the middle including spotting for 2 days at the end.

On drugs they were 4-5 days, no spotting afterwards or skipped days (usually)

Hmm it's been a while haha. On BCP I say 4 days, with the last 2 being almost nothing. It never stopped and started though.

Off BCP I would occasionally get a day where I thought it was done, but then it would pick up.. not really fully stop though! Oh and it lasted a couple days longer.
