Are you ff? I'm bf and had a emcs, my lochia lasted about 6weeks but havn't had a period since, think it's normal for your periods to be a bit out for a while post child birth.

yeah ff...lochia lasted about 4 weeks...need to wait for this period before i can go back on the pill, which should regulate them anyway then...

Well maybe check with your doctor but I think it's just your body recovering and like you say the pill will regulate them.
After a 6week period I'm enjoying my time off! I thought I'd get off lightly after a cs but no that was awful!

Also I think I read on here tha periods after childbirth are much less painful if you get pmt and lighter :)
