Hello ladies, I knew i could only ask a fellow cyster this so here goes.

I started ttc in jan 08, i began taking met and provera. before jan 08 i had not had af since sept 07. The provera brought on af in jan 08 and then again in feb 08 and in march 08 and april 08 af came on her own. Now in may 08 i thought i would start around the 2nd because i had been getting it in 32 day cycles. but nothing. i took a HPT and got a - so i went ahead and called in the provera, started taking on the 6th of May one a day for 10 days and on the 19th i started spotting, on the 20th still spotting but a little more, on the 21st it started to come sort of like pink water or pink mucus but not blood. Sorry TMI.

Today it is back to pink spotting. but during the week it never got to blood just pink water or pink mucus and most of the time i only noticed it because of when i wiped. the pads and liners were almost always clean. just light pink here and there. So my question is... is this still concidered af or is this something else. if so what else could it be. I have never had af like this after provera it has always come full force. i constantly feel like really wet down there.

I don't know about the provera, but I will share what my gyno said about ultra-light periods:

I went four years without AF, and finally had a (progesterone-induced) HEAVY AF in February. Then, I started birth control. Then, came March - pretty heavy again. Then April - and it was like yours. I wouldn't have known it was there if I hadn't checked the toilet paper. Nothing on the pads whatsoever. Barely there.

When I saw my gyno in April, I expressed my concern - I thought I was losing my AF again despite birth control - and she said that it takes 3-4 months to regulate on birth control. I don't know if this is true for Provera also, or not...but she said that, in an ideal world, women have light, barely there AFs, and so if I am having a "barely there" AF, to consider myself fortunate and not worry about it.

So, I didn't...until this month when I didn't get one at all. I'm without insurance, so I can't go back to my gyno and find out what's up.

So, my point - it may be nothing to worry about. If you're really concerned, put a call in to your gyno...but, if what my gyno said is right, getting an AF (even if it's ultra light) is all that matters.

I hope what I said made sense - if not, lemme know!

Cheers,
K
