I had a copper coil fitted 6 weeks ago, a week after giving up bf - dd is 16m and was conceived while I was still bf my ds. I have gone from almost 4 years of no periods apart from lochia after giving birth to 3 periods in 6 weeks. The first and third have been heavier than the bleeding after birth. Having to change pad or tampon every 90-120 mins.My bed was like something from CSI on Tuesday morning. The 2nd "period" was probably breakthrough bleeding but was as heavy and as long as my periods before I had children.

It's horrible - aside from feeling like Lady Macbeth with all the blood, I feel bloated spotty and well pre-mentsrual/menstrual all the time.

Someone please tell me this will settle down!
