wait, I thought Kristen was 6wks? I must have missed something...

You're not dying, your love for Kristen is too great! oh yea Travis too, always seem to forget about dad unless he's not there...

What size tampon? I know my regular period if I used regular, I'd have to change every 3hours and they were almost falling out by that point because of the blood coming around it. But 9 days does sound extreme, it's nice to hear you called your doctor.

I just got mine! eww, it is really bad this month. Maybe it's just bad period month and we can get it out of the way early for the new year.

I was told absolutely no tampons, no douching and no sex for 6 weeks. Basically, if it goes in the hoo hoo, it's a no no!!

If Kristen is 7 weeks, wearing a tampon is A-OK. Wink Besides, imagine all that bleeding and a pad. ICK!

Have you called your doctor again, Suzy?

How long did you bleed after Kristen was born? I think I bled for 4-5 weeks then started again at like 7 weeks. Breast feeding never kept my cycle away. Sad

Ditto to me as well. The IUD has made my period extremely light, though. I hope it gets better for you soon, Suzy. That just stinks.
