I’m still giving it time since it’s only been a month, but my periods are like clockwork. I’m fine through the night, then between 8am-12pm I get bad lower back pain and heavy cramping and blood clotting/bleeding through clothes sometimes. Then the rest of the day is light periods and like no cramps.

initial "spotting" turned out to be almost 10 days of light to medium bleeding but cramps and bleeding have become much lighter compared to my regular cycle
Somewhat negative mood
