Mine started at 7 months and lasted 7 weeks. Sorry not much help to you.

are you having any pain? more than usual period type pain? any bad odour or big clots?

keep an eye on it, and try taking something like spatone, in case you are getting a little aneamic

Mine came back at about 12 weeks after No.3, it lasted on and off, very heavy and then very light for just over 2 weeks. Only had about 10days before the next one arrived then. dd2 is 6mths now and the last one seems to have got back to normal. It is normal for it to take a while to regulate it's self again. Keep eating lots of iron rich things and drinking plenty.

I stopped BF at 6 weeks and it came about 15 weeks and lasted 6 weeks I had just started the pill again as well so thought it was related
