My periods have always been regular as clockwork every 28 days even when my weight has fluctuated from thin to overweight and back and forth. They've always been heavy and extremely painful.
My first period after birth was when my lg was 13 weeks (I didn't breastfeed) and since then they have been every 18-23 days and are still heavy and painful. I'm not on medication or using any contraception as I'm single but in the two years since my lg was born I have gained a LOT of weight (3.7 stone) and that's the main reason I don't want to go to the doctors about it because I know they will blame it on my weight gain even though my periods have been like this when I was still in a healthy weight range.
Just wondered if any other mums have had this with their periods after birth?
