I started my 1st pill pack wen my af started 5 weeks ago but then the bleeding didnt stop for the whole pack - i decided 2 run 2 packs 2gether just incase id made a mistake somewhere or it was taking a while for my body 2 get used 2 it again

i now hav 5 pills left of my 2nd pack & im still bleeding, last time this happened i turned out 2 b 7 weeks pg with Ryan (i know its not possible this time tho)

Any ideas? Im not in any pain, well none other than normal af pains

p i really wouldnt worry hun,

it can take upto 6 months for your body to recover from labour.

i had the coil fitted when leo was 5 weeks old and i'm still getting periods, and slight spotting and they were meant to stop all together as its the new kinda coil.

if still after 6 months i'm still bleeding i will go back to the docs but at the mo i'm not worried at all.

Hey Lil P.

I had the same thing and like MumSam said, it turned out to be the pill I was on. They didn't give me my normal pill cos my blood pressure had been erratic, so put me on a different one. I did become anaemic again so had to have iron tablets too.

The nurse changed my pill (back to the one I was on originally) and the bleeding stopped, and my blood pressure was fine!!

V odd....

I'd go and see your nurse or GP, best to be safe.

And, prob stupid question - whats af? I'm just not getting the abbreviation....

Hmm my aunties always used 'auntie flow' it sounds nicer than periods although wen im chatting thats wot id usually say lol

Anyway thanx for the advice, im using the same kind of pill iv always used but will look in2 it. Not keen on going back on iron tablets (it has been like normal af the whole time no spotting)
