I think I am having my period but it's just been some super light spotting and mostly sort of a darkish red color. It was bright red only for a short time. It has been about 4 days of this strange spotting.

I am thinking this is because of the big trauma I just put my body through and the hugely reduced calories... am I correct?

I am incredibly regular most of the time and it started on the first, which was the day I anticipated my period would start.

Thanks!

I have had issues with my TOM ever since my April banding. I was, before surgery, maybe having a period about 4 times a year. Then BAM! Right after surgery here it is and I have been like a clock ever since. Maybe the shock of the surgery does something to the body.

It's funny, but after I posted this, I started a "normal" period during the day. It was weird that I spotted for almost 5 days!
