Anyone still bleeding?

[beatgenxer]

I'm six weeks PP today and I'm still bleeding. It stopped but then started up again about two weeks ago. The MWs said it was the placenta adhesion site/wound detaching which is normal. But the bleeding hasn't slowed down since then - TMI it's the brown stuff not bright red.

So anyone else still dealing with lochia?

I stopped completely at 7 weeks on the day. At 8 weeks on the day, my period returned. Ugh... I am so tired of wearing pads! I am not a lucky one with extended absence of af even though we exclusively bf.

Ugh. 6 weeks PP. Like last time, mine has stopped and started up again a few times. Stopped completely a bit over a week ago. I am now bleeding again and left to wonder if it is leftover bleeding or my period. Same thing happened last time, and I'm pretty sure it was my period since I got it every month after that until I got pregnant again. That in spite of exclusively breastfeeding last time... and this time... not only but tandem nursing too!

Count me in. Six weeks PP and the bleeding started up again. It had all but stopped last week, but now it's red and almost heavy enough that I wonder if it could be a period. With my DS, AF did not return for 8 months. I'm so confused, not to mention SICK of it!

I'm not now, but was bleeding up through 5 weeks. Then a week of nothing, then a day of spotting at 6 weeks, then another week of nothing, then 3 days of spotting at 7 weeks. Now I'm just over 8 weeks and haven't had anything in about 5 days, so I hope I'm really done this time. I won't feel "safe" not wearing a pad or anything until I've been dry for 2 weeks.

Mine stopped at 5 weeks and then started up again at six weeks. First it was spotting for two days and then bright red for the past three days. I had this with DS1, but I know it's because I was doing too much. This time it's not the case. Not sure what is going on now. I hope it's not my period.

man, I love this board.. I was just worrying today about this. I stopped bleeding at 4 weeks.. now at 6.5 weeks I'm spotting today. Pink/brown. I didn't have this with my first so I didn't know what to think. I'm having cramping with it too. I really hope this isn't my period since I'm breastfeeding. With my first my period didn't come back until 7 months. ??

I think I'm really done this time. I haven't had anything else.

Add me to the list of folks that stopped, started, and stopped again. I did finally stop for good at about 6 weeks, but I bled for 8 & 9 weeks after my first 2 babies. Craziness.

ugh. i got af. i'm on fenugreek so no surprise but gaw i'd like to go more than 5 days without bleeding. it's been almost 13 wks with only a 5 day break!

[mrscompgeek]

ok so i have stopped bleeding...i stopped at like 6 weeks i think?? But i have had a ton of discharge, i have to wear pantyliners 24/7. Is it normal to leak that long??

[beatgenxer]

I'm glad I'm not the only one. It's now 7-1/2 weeks with the past seven days being bright red AGAIN. My MW thinks it's either my period returning or some leftover membranes finally leaving my body. UGH!

i have my period back - 12wks in (but initial bleeding was done after about 8 days. with ds1 my period came back at 6wks - i'll never forget as it was his original due date.
