Period question updated

edited August 2013 in February 2013 Moms
I finally got my period, it was only about 7 weeks "late." I normally have very heavy, long (9ish days) periods. But so far, this is ridiculously heavy. For several hours. I have been changing my pad about every hour. I wouldn't necessarily say that I am soaking it, but more changing so I don't. Obviously, I would think it is from going so long without a period. Would you call your doctor? I don't have any other issues. I am not really crampy, not fatigued, etc.... I don't really know what they do. I generally take bcp to help with my heavy bleeding, which I am planning to start taking now.

    You may want to take some iron or eat a steak. I bled that much after a miscarriage and I was faint from blood loss for days. The iron will help fend that off.

    well, my period was 9 weeks late, and the first 3 days were the heaviest in my life, (oddly with no cramps). I had to change every hour or so. But I also noticed my duration of period shortened, don't know if the same thing will happen next time.

    Thanks ladies. Since there is an obvious reason why the bleeding is so heavy, the doctor said it isn't a big concern right now, as long as it calms down, and while it is still very heavy, it isn't nearly like it was.

    Yikes. My first PP period after DD1 I remember I managed to leak through a super tampon, a pad, and a liner in less than 1.5 hours. I was definitely concerned, but it tapered off quickly. I hope yours does, too.
