I had my son in 2014 and went directly on BC so since having him I haven't had a "normal period".  Just finished our second cycle of TTC, period started Halloween and it was very much like my pre BC periods from 10 yrs ago, heavy heavy bleeding, doubled over with cramps then period day 2 and no symptoms except some mild/moderate bleeding, Day 3 was more like spotting. Anyone else experience this? With my son the cycle I conceived I had a pre BC period but it was heavy bleeding for several days with cramping.
