18 weeks postpartum bleeds after exercise

[RR5862]

Hi everyone

I’m 18 weeks postpartum and I’ve been back into running for the past 4 weeks.

I’ve noticed recently that I’ve been getting bright red bleeding and I’m pretty sure it’s in relation to when I’ve done exercise.

I’m not in any pain or discomfort but it is a worry. I had two periods postpartum before deciding to go back onto the progesterone only pill about 6-8 weeks ago.

Should I be concerned with this bleeding?

Have you been on that pill before?

How much have you built up the running?

I'd get a check at the GPs to ensure that all is clear as a precaution.
