there was a thread like this a few weeks back, and a lot of people reported similar experiences to you...

I was the oddball... I was very light the first couple times (possibly due to BFing?) I suspect it's fairly normal..... but use your gut instinct... after all, it can't hurt to call the OB/gyn office and ask a nurse....
