Weird discharge 8 weeks post partum - help! (TMI alert)

Sorry, didn't know where else to post. Have name changed.

My babyis 8 weeks old today. It was a 'normal' delivery with a 1st degree tear, no stitches. The bleeding settled after around 12 days but came back and then came and went for a few weeks after that then settled to brownish discharge which eventually went away then resurfaced every time I had sex. The discharge since then has never been colourless but has been slightly tinged orange or yellow. This week I've had loads of it, pretty egg whitey and odourless. This morning I woke up and my pyjama bottoms were soaked through. What on earth is going on? I would phone GP if it wasn't the weekend - not sure OOH GP will see me for this.

I should add that I really don't think I'm ovulating or anything. DC is exclusively BF on demand and it took 9 months for my cycles to return last time. Could it be an infection or bacterial vaginosis or something if there is no smell?

No idea, but dont discount ovulation. My two were bf and i ovulated at ten weeks each time...

Sorry cant help but watching to see if someone has any bright ideas, mine has been different since I gave birth 10 weeks ago. Not ovulation as has been like it for a few weeks now, since the bleeding settled.

Thanks for the responses. Justabigdisco I'll ask HV when I see her tomorrow and will let you know if she comes up with anything. Touchwood seems to have settled today in any event

It sounds like ovulation to me.

Heavens I hope not. Had been looking forward to another 6 months or so without my evil PMT. If it is ovulation I don't know WTF my body is playing at. I've been pregnant, breastfeeding or both for the past 2 1/2 years and there is no way I could deal with getting pregnant again so soon. Thank goodness for contraception.
