  This is my third PP AF.  The first was short and pretty light. Second was weird--heavy for a day then nothing, heavy for a day then nothing, heavy for a day then spotting. 

  THIS ONE--soaked a super tampon in less than 2 hours.  Good thing I wore black pants to work today instead of khakis!  I'm going to be in the bathroom every other hour (I teach) just to be cautious!  

  I hope they are not all like this in the future.
  

  This is how mine have been. They are super heavy and last for 9-15 days! And I've been getting them since 6 weeks pp even though I EBF! Arg!

  I couldn't even leave the house wearing a super tamppn after having DD, I would have to change it in less than an hour!!  It was so heavy. 

  If it is like that again I may buy the diva cup.

  You can't be a teacher, how can you go to the bathroom every hour?! :-) Last year I taught in the portables and it was pure hell.  However this might be a great teachable moment for the class!  Teaching 5th graders sex-ed was a blast when I was 6 months pregnant.  We watched the video, then they looked at me, down to my belly, and you could just SEE what they were thinking.

  ::Shutters:: 

  I just finished my 2nd PP AF and it was a nightmare just like the first. Before I used to get fairly heavy periods and awful cramps. NOW I pms for 4 days then the first 2-3 days of AF I can barely get out of bed all whilst soaking tampons by 2 hours. Its awful. It feels like my ovaries & ute have evil trolls hacking away inside. I hate it!!

   

  :EDIT: 
  I find it purely evil that I got AF while I am still nursing/pumping. Can't catch a break!

  I teach high school...otherwise I'd be wearing diapers and two tampons just to get through!

  I'm on #3 since 6 this morning and it is only 11:10. This is NOT a good thing in my book.  BLEH!

   

  ETA: You girls are scaring me! I thought this one would be a fluke!

  Try Tampax Ultra size tampons. They are gigantic, but the only thing that has been working for me.
