Is the off and on bleeding EVER going to stop?!

July 06, 2008

I'm feeling very frustrated...

I only bled for like 1 1/2-2 weeks after having Christian, spotted til like 3 weeks.. then it stopped.. came back for 1-2 days... stopped... came back for 3-4 days... stopped for 2 days.. and now, its back again today.. and I have been taking my mini pill on time every day for the past 1 1/2 weeks.....(approximately) so...

I'm looking forward to being able to BD again (although I'm scared still that it will hurt) but if this dang bleeding doesn't stop, I'm not going to get to BD. Is it ever going to quit?!

How many wks is he now? I bled for exactly 5..and did bd in the third wk with no problems..altho painful.

He was six weeks yesterday.

If I'm still bleeding dh won't bd.

It should be stopping then any day now..if not I think I'd call the ob. Good luck :)

The thing is.. it stops.. then it comes back!! I have my six week appt on the 10th (which will be almost 7 weeks, really) so I'll talk to her then.. but man this is annoying. it goes away and comes back. goes away and comes back!!! ugh... :)

by any chance does the mini pill that you are taking have any aspirin properties to it? I had this problem taking the baby aspirin when TTC I had to stop taking it 2 days into my period and then wait 2 full days of non bleeding to resume. I know that claritin did the same thing to me I bled for 3 months off and on, stopped taking the pill and the bleeding stopped.

I don't mean to soun discouraging, but I bled for 8 months after my first pregnancy 7 months after my second and 5 months after my 3rd. They never found any reason for it. This time I am going to be way more persistant because it is so hard to bleed for that long. Definately talk to your doctor, but I think it's normal though to bleed for up to 8 weeks.

hrmm.. i don't know if it does or not.. I guess I should ask my dr about it when I go on thursday.. thanks crystal!

yikes, mama! I hope that doesn't happen! Did you bleed full flow, or just spotting? Was it constant or did it come and go?

For the first 3 months it was constant than on and off every few days. It was awful. I have never met anyone that had that same problem so it probably won't happen to you, but I know how you are feeling. It interfers with everything.
