My period, already?

in June 2012 Moms

I had Harley on May 26, didn't really bleed a ton. I had maybe 3 or 4 small clots, and I was able to wear "normal" pads maybe 4 or 5 days later. So, I bled for 2 weeks, normally/lightly, then it went to that brown looking stuff.

I'm almost 4 weeks P/O now and it's back to bright red blood, but not a ton. Just light. I can wear a pad a day and not even fill it up.

Could I already be having a period? Or is my body cleaning itself out, still? I was given the Depo shot 3 days after delivery - maybe that could be why too? I'm not worried about it, I was just curious. :)

My 6 week is on July 10th, when I am getting my Mirena IUD put it. I know Depo lasts for 3 months, but I wonder if getting that will affect getting my IUD put in. I guess I'll ask my OB when I see her, just to make sure.

    It's more likely just post-partum bleeding returning............especially i you've been overdoing it?

    Agreed. In another thread you mentioned you have already started working out...that would do it, I would think.

    It could be like the other ladies said, over working yourself if you are working out already. It also could be that you are just having some residual spotting.

    Or it could be the Depo. I took it almost 4 years ago now. Just ONE shot. I spotted on and off the three months it lasted, then I bleed for three months straight, then I did not have a single normal cycle for three years (after having been clock work before taking Depo). Getting pregnant was a surprise and a miracle. 

    I'd call and double check with your doctor, never hurts to have yourself checked out. At least then you will get some reassurance.

    Depo messed me up major I took it 3 times back in high school. I litterally bled 9months maybe 12days out of those 9months with no blood it was insane and the dr kept saying my body was just adjusting. So my vote its just the depo doing crazy things. Never heard of some1 getting anything so quickly after birth u aren't supposed to have sex for 6weeks so why would you need it?

    I don't think it is your period. Like the other ladies said, I think you are just overdoing it. Try to get more rest. You don't want to set back your recovery!
