Not sure this is the right forum, but can't think where is...
OK, so DS is 12wks.
I had my first AF at 6wks, usual pain for 36h and then bleeding for another 4 days.
26/03- 05/04 Another AF, very heavy (for me) and painful throughout (enough to take codeine and paracetamol, also felt very anemic).
14/04-16/04 another AF, 36h of pain, a really light bleed, but only lasting those 3 days.
Normal? Not so abnormal...?
Back on cerazette about 14 days before 2nd AF listed. Not BF (I really gave it a good go - had to give up after 5 wks due to mastisis and scepsis), but am still producing milk/leaking a bit but no engorgement.
Please point out if I'm just being paranoid. With PND I have no idea sometimes whether I'm just being paranoid.

cerazette can mess with your periods so it could be a combination of hormone levels after the birth and the mini-pill. If you are worried then see a gp to put your mind at rest

Thank Seona. I'm due so see my Gp soon for a PND check, so will mention it then. :)
