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. Very Happy

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!
