I am currently experiencing some minor concerns. I am a 33 year old mother of four, three I delivered and one older stepson. After the birth of my now almost 9 year old I had my tubes tied. At the time it seemed like the perfect choice for our family. I had gotten pregnant with my second child while on the birth control patch, after her delivery I ask for a tubal but was denied and instead offered the IUD, long story short I got pregnant with my now 8 year old. My periods are regular and I never skip a period. It's always like clock work when it comes to sympthoms of my cycle. It starts with cramping a week before I start, my boobs start hurting a week before I start. Then it starts like a river, if I notice it coming on at night usually by the next morning I am soaking a extra heavy tampon. It will continue heavy for about three days then start getting lighter. With very heavy periods I ALWaYs experience lots of clots. Well on the 9th of January I noticed I had a little blood when I wiped. Since my period wasent due for another week and a half or two weeks (don't keep up with my exact day just know the time frame) I kind of brushed it off and thought maybe it was from intercourse earlier in the day. It wasent heavy and only there a little when I wiped. Days goes on and I use the restroom again and notice light colored blood. It was a tad bit heavier so I put a tampon in. My tubes are tied so pregnancy couldn't be happening I thought. Still thinking it's kind of starge I am bleeding earlier then expected. Take the tampon out several hours later and there's not even 1/4 of the blood covering the tampon. Take it out and leave it out over night. Wake up the next morning and still spotting a little light blood. Put another tampon in, few hours later only a few spots on the tampon. This went on for about four days. I used like 7 tampons the entire time and ever did it even fill half of the tampon up. It never got heavier and I saw no clots what so ever. The bleeding kept coming and going with light bleeding if that makes since. Now that the bleeding has stopped I am having cramps that feel like my period is coming. I keep feeling like I'm bleeding heavier but when I check there is nothing. I did notice a few drops today after I used the restroom but not where I need any protection. My boobs have not been hurting like they normally do before my period starts. I have however just recently noticed very frequent headaches/mild migraines that are affecting my eyes. Any help from someone who has experience or information would be great. It's been 9 years since I was last pregnant so I'm not really sure. The cramps are uncomfortable but tolerable and they come on and disappear within a few minutes. It's not a constant pain. It almost feels as if my stomach is having small contractions. These started after the bleeding stopped so I'm very confused if I had my period and it was just very light or if the cramping is because my real period is due to start in a few days. Please keep in mind that I am happily married so our sex life is very active. We are pretty much sexually active every day (sometimes twice or more in a day) when I'm not on my period.
Thank you
