Strange period!

Sara • I am 26 & married with one perfect little girl.

So my period came a day late.

When it started, it was just spotting brown and pink. The second day it turned red (mix of dark and bright) and got a little heavier. But still not a full period. It only came out when I peed or wiped. It was a super light period for 2 days and I only used a liner. I am now spotting again on day 4. I am a little confused, as my periods are normally regular and require multiple pads/tampons.

I am also on and off nauseated.

We are not trying to conceive, as we are raising a toddler and have our hands full with work and military life. However, we would be welcoming if that was to be the case.

Any thoughts or common situations?
