How was your period post partum???
Ok so I bled for the usual 6 wks postpartum and then my period has been all wacky since then. I am not nursing and so I got the normal period after I had my baby, but I've pretty much bled for the most part since I had my baby 6 1/2 months ago!!! I've had to wear a pad every day almost because I don't know if I'm going to be bleeding or not and I hate it!!
I talked to my ob/gyn and I've been on Lo-Estrin (lowest form of bc out there, actually on Junel, which is the generic of that) and he's hoping it'll even out my hormones and get me on a regular menstrual cycle again. I'm starting on my 4th month of it and it's getting better but I'm still spotting here and there. I'm hoping this is the last month I have to be on this stuff.
I have a Mirena IUD in, so it's not the birth control I care about because that is taking care of not making any more babies. I just want my period to be back to once a month for 5-7 days! Before I got pg last summer, I would have a normal period (pretty light) for a few days and that'd be it. Now it's all screwed up!! This didn't happen to me after my other 2 kids, so this is all new to me.
I've always had a normal period and it's come every 28-30 days. After I lost all the weight, it was just a light period every month.
Anyone else have this problem and how did you fix it? How long did it take to go back to a normal period?

Hit goal weight of 140 at 13 months out from RNY!! 130 pounds GONE! 
Well...I have the same problem... but I didn't have a baby. I actually just went for my one month Mirena check. They tell me that my constant daily spotting is being caused by the Mirena. :( If it doesn't stop within the next 5 months, they agreed to give me some estrogen to stop the bleeding. But I sure as heck don't want to wait that long. It's driving me nuts already. I am going to ask my pc doc if he will give me the lo-E before then. :( Otherwise, I just may have to ditch this thing.
Congrats on your baby... I have pcos and hope that I might try to conceive once I get to a safer point.
