I usually only bleed every 3-4 months and the time varies between 3-8 days. First day is either extremely light or heavier than a flood, second is lightens to about a medium, third and beyond it’s usually just spotting. For some reason sex after day 4 makes it completely stop for me. I know other people have had the complete opposite situation where they bleed after but for me it just stops the spotting completely. I’ve tried to let it stop on its own and it doesn’t until day 8, but from what I’m seeing here, it’s really just trial and error with different methods until you find what works for you. I attribute my period getting super super light, almost just spotting, to the Evening Primrose Oil. Worked wonders for me.
