It has been two weeks since I ovulated. I have had some bad menstrual-like cramps and some brown - very light - discharge, as if I were going to start, but nothing yet. Is is possible to have a very light period or is this more of an indication that I may have Asherman's Syndrome? I just don't know what is normal and what isn't. Can someone help?
