I am 7 weeks postpartrum today. Bled on and off till last week but still no period yet. I had another c section and from what i can remember with DD1 i had a period 5 weeks after. I have been on the progesterone onky pill since just before 3 weeks pp. When did your period come back?

Yes I am BF this time too! Are you concerned that you're pregnant?

Yes. I'm only 8 weeks postpartrum today from a c section. I'm worried the pill may have failed. But I've taken it correctly. So maybe its just the pill working? Who knows. Will defiently ask the gp tomorrow

I’m impressed 8 weeks after a c section you’ve done anything to get pregnant!

I didn't mention it to the gp because i was sure i was getting my period this morning. Been bleeding well if i can call it that since 7amish. It almost looks like lochia though. Like a dischargey blood not that much of it. Wish i had mentioned it now

I’m pumping about 300ml of breastmilk a day. Really not that much. Baby almost 11 weeks. No period. No sign of it. It’s great but also sort of want it back!
