So i'm having my first period after Sophia
and i'm bleeding a lot! Is this normal?
I'm changing a super pad, and sometimes a
super tampon, and pad every 3-4 hours. No
clots or anything, but i can feel it
coming out, and it's kinda gross LOL.
Sorry TMI. But it's kinda got me worried.
And i've been spotting, and now bleeding
for almost 3 weeks since i've been on
these BC pills. Is it something i should
be worried about?
Went back to work friday. So i haven't had
time to get one, and i've been SOOOO
freaking tired. I hope this gets easier.
So hope everyones doing ok!!!!! I'll try
and post some on my days off.

I was (and still am) messed up with my
periods and Cheyenne is 5.5 months old. I
had to stop taking my BC pills for a
couple months to have a couple of fairly
regular periods. I just started my pills
again last week, so we'll see how it goes.
The first period after birth though, was
horrible. Hope you can get it
straightened out soon.

i think it's normal. as long as you're not
soaking a pad every hour you're fine. yuck
though!
as for the bc bleeding, it can take up to
3 months for things to regulate. i was on
yaz and had breakthrough bleeding for
about 6 weeks.

This can be normal. But if you are at all
worried, you can call your doctor and
discuss it with him/her. Keep taking your
IRON!

Do you like the mirena better? The copper
coil (paragard) does make you bleed a lot.
How is the mirena working in that
department. You said you had some bleeding
for awhile upon re-insertion. Is that
working out?

Well the bleeding continues to SUCK, and i
almost went to the ER cause i was changing
a tampon every hour, but the doctor said
it was normal for my first period after
Sophie, but it's a bit better today.
And yes i've been doing the 1-9 shifts.
It's a lot better than the 4-1, but i'm
still tired lol. It'll get better soon
though.

Well that's good they didn't stick you to
the 4-1 shifts, I don't know if I could
survive that! Yay for your period being a
little better today!
