Periods 2 weeks apart - 15wks postpartum

Hello,

I am exclusivley breastfeeding, currently taking medication for BV and have yet to have sex since giving birth 15 weeks ago.

Despite EBF, I started a very light period at 8 weeks and then almost exactly 28 days later had another one. However, I just bled again today (no idea if it will continue) 13 days into my cycle.

I'm high risk for ovarian cancer and a hypochondriac so convinced this is the end. I am up-to-date with cervical screening (next one due in August)

Has this happened to any other ladies?

Yes, this happened to me. Everything was fine, I panicked too but all okay

Little update on this - literally bled this one time and some pink the next day and nothing since except some period cramps. I hate hormones (if that's what's causing it)
