1st pp period???

Hey ladies -

Gotta a question for you. I started spotting brown yesterday morning, then started a light red flow. By this morning it was and has been a consistent medium bright/dark red flow all day and as of this evening already seems to be tappering off into really light red/ brown flow again.

This is the lightest period I have ever had - was your first post partum period light too??

On another note the PPD is getting much, much better. I am on ambien, lexapro and ativan. I see a psych on 9/17 to help tweak the meds, then back to my OB on 9/23. I am going to talk to my Doc about birthcontrol - any suggestions? I don't want anything that is going to chemically alter my system.... so I guess that leaves me with an IUD??

TIA

I have been thinking of you.  I am glad you are feeling better.  I dont comment alot, but lurk and you were in my prayers.  Glad things are going better. I had PPD with #3 and it is a strange thing I know.  As far as the BC I love my Mirena...Highly recommend it.  Good luck to you. _Jen

My first pp period was extremely light, I was hoping they would stay that way!  The 2nd was a different story.  I seriously thought I was going to die!  I got to work at about 10am from being out in the field and lucky me bleed through everything!  Thankfully I had a long jacket I could put on until I could get out of the office to change.  It freaking sucked.  They have been pretty normal ever since though.

Mine was horrible! Ugh... I had like a 2 day period prior to having Zach... and then afterwords it changed to like 7 days and hurt!!!!! omg......

Glad to hear things are better :)
