Period or over doing it? Or anyone had their period yet?
Hi ladies! I’m 8 weeks postpartum. I had a csection and around 5 weeks postpartum my lochia tapered off. For the past 3 weeks I’ve had spotting on and off. I’m an exclusive pumper so sometimes it came after pumping all that. Last week I got mastitis and had a 20oz drop in supply (I’m still an oversupplier so it’s fine- and although hate mastitis it helped get me way more comfortable). But then Monday after I finished my antibiotics I had a weird episode where I thought I was ovulating. Pumping was sensitive and had to turn my setting wayyyy down and discharge was weird as if it was fertile. Today is my husband’s first day back at work and I took my toddler and baby to a birthday party. I was on my feet baby wearing the whole time. Went to the restroom at the event and nothing was there but came home to see that I had a period like flow. I’m not soaking a pad an hour or anything.
But I didn’t know if anyone has had their period yet this soon? More wondering like did I overdo it and need to rest and cancel plans the rest of the week or is it my period and I’m still good to go?

I’m 8 weeks pp and I haven’t gotten mine yet. I do feel a little crampy down there so I feel like maybe it’s about to get here.
I would see your obgyn/provider. I had spotting and heavy bleeding on and off and after an ultrasound they found I may have retained products of conception (placenta). My bleeding stopped around 4 weeks and then have been bleeding since 5w pp for the last 40 odd days. I go in next Wednesday for a saline sonohysterography
i’m 9 weeks pp and still haven’t gotten mine but for the past 2ish weeks i’ve been cramping on and off.
I’m 10wks pp and honestly I was so confused about my bleeding. It stopped at 6wks for a few days and restarted again. Bleed for about a week stopped again and then restarted again for about 1.5 weeks and then stopped again. So I’m about 2 weeks without bleeding now so I dk where I am. I pump overproducer. Just started breastfeeding more.
Im 8 weeks postpartum and around 7 weeks I got my period. Im exclusively breastfeeding. Happened with me first pregnancy too
I’m 8 weeks pp, I stopped having bloody spotting at 2-3 weeks but then at 6 weeks i think my period came and I’ve been bleeding since. It’s very much period like. I exclusively breastfeed and have an over supply. Going in tomorrow for my postpartum appt, we will see what they say.
