pads after delivery-need help

in Success after IF

Over on the 3rd someone posted which pads to buy after LO comes, people are saying use the brand you normaly use just heavy flow etc.

Well, I'm a PCOS girl and didnt get my friend on a normal basis- only when on meds. And even then I just needed something light. I dont know what to do.

Aslo, since i'm PCOS does that mean I'll have less bleeding?

I'm confused, thanks!!

    I'm pcos and I had large LARGE amounts of bleeding. I stocked up on the pads from the hospital ( the ones that  are like a foot long ... ) they were my friends.

    I have PCOS too and trust me, get the big boys.  The bleeding you have doesn't have to do with AF, it is your body getting rid of all the "extra stuff" it has in it from carrying a baby.  Most bleed anywhere from 4-6 weeks post partum.  Unfortunately, it's unavoidable.  It's not so bad, though.  GL!

    I'm a PCOSer, too, and had a LOT of bleeded pp.  Always Infiniti Overnights were my friend (black and purple package).  They're amazing!

    Take everything you can from the hospital! Buy the Always Overnights with wings - they are HUGE - seriously laugh out loud huge, but they are awesome! LINKY

    I have PCOS and bled like crazy.  You need the longest pads you can find, preferably with wings.

    Get overnight super absorbency pads in whatever brand you prefer (always, etc.) Basically pick a brand and then buy their largest pad they make! You'll go through them!

    ditto this. I have PCOS and bled heavily for weeks after my C-Section.

    The Always overnights worked well for me. I only needed to use them for a week and am now using Always regulars. I still had to change the overnights every few hours though.
