It took me around 6 weeks to fully stop any bleeding. At 3 weeks I was still bleeding when I wiped. The more active you are the more blood there will be too. I know you say you’re not filling a pad but if that changes then I would call triage or your gp.

I was on/off for three weeks but very very lightly. First period at 13 weeks with formula feeding

6 weeks here too and it was brown near the end for me as well. I think this is normal.

@toxitears181 it took 12 weeks for my bleeding to stop completely.

Mine was pretty full on for 3 weeks and 3 days
I passed a horrible looking clot which they actually thought was a piece of placenta ! Sent home to observe and antibiotics but it's been 4 days and nothing passed since but my blood has gone from thick dark red blood and stringy to a really light flow, light pink waterway bleed

Keep thinking more blood will come as it's turned from so much to so little very quickly! By so far so good x
