Ok..so I had my little princess 8 weeks ago and within the first 4 weeks was back down to my pre-preg weight. I was also breastfeeding at the time. Suddenly, my weight shot back up 10 pounds. Now...I have been having my first post-partum period and post Mirena bleeding for the last 3 weeks. Could it just be bloating? When will this on again...off again bleeding ever stop???? Has anyone else had this experience?

Thanks!

It is probably the Mirena. Good thing is it usually will stop your period within a few mos. It does give weight gain like the pill so you'll need to step up the exercise a bit.
