periods more than once a month since giving birth

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
Has anyone else had problems with having more than one period in a month after giving birth. I had my daughter 02-25-09, with some hemorraging after and needed manuel removal of the placenta. I bleed for the first 5 weeks than had about a week off then got a period. Since then I've gotten a period every eleven days! Not just spoting but regular bleeding, with cramps, breast tenderness, and I'm more emotional (which I don't need help with.) This has happen three times now. First time it repeated was the day after my pap (5 days after I stopped my period). But I can't explained it this time. Possible crazy hormones? I'm using 20% Progestrone cream daily to help with PP depression. And no I haven't had sex or anything close to it since having the baby. Any suggestions or answers?

Hmmm... That sounds like a little too much bleeding to me. I'd go get it checked out. That must be terrible to be having cramps that often!

Call your care provider. Likeliness that it's your period is pretty low. With the other things you have going on, I'd be more inclined to think side-effect/complication.

Good luck... definitely sounds like No Fun!
