Hi all, just hoping someone might have a bit of knowledge they can share. I'm wondering what's going on with me...

I'm 11wks postpartum and don't feel quite "right" in the pelvic region...

Every few days (for the past 2wks or so) there is a VERY faint bit of light pink discharge on my toilet paper?!?!? What's up with this? I also feel a TINY bit "crampy"/pre-PMSy,...I don't have an awful odor but I do notice that I "smell" a bit different (normally I don't have any smell at all)...

COUld it be a a bit of tissue retained from my placenta, a UTI or the beginnings of PPAF?

With preg #1 I never got PPAF - I got preggie at 9mths (first egg!)
with preg #2 I got PPAF at 9mths
so I figured I'd probably get it around 9mths
I'm tandem nursing and nursing on demand (as I always do)...

I'm thinking it's a UTI? I do feel a bit more "tender" down there (and haven't wanted to have sex. Actually, I had a super easy, just about painless birth....

Any thoughts?

i would think if it was a retained placenta with infection, then you would maybe be feverish, or otherwise ill? do you have any other symptoms of a UTI?

Sometimes I have extended "light" pms type symptoms. It usually turns into a regular AF after a while, but sometimes it can be a couple of weeks. I would think that if you are not having any fever or pain (other than pms type pain) it is probably just your system realigning itself.

no fever or pain or awful smell..... that's why I'm not too worried about retained tissue... sorry nak

I guess now I'm just trying to figure out if it's a UTI or AF starting....
it just seemsso soon for AF...
But I don't really have UTI symptoms...but some times people don't have many symptoms...My uterus just feels "weird"...
i guess i should remember ut's only 11wks PP and it could still be shrinking down to normal.
