MAP and first period after having a baby.

Hi everyone I was wondering if anyone has an experience of the following.

I had a baby about 7 weeks ago and had an accident with a condom splitting last week. I went to the doctors and was prescribed the MAP. I've never taken it before so have no previous experience. I was warned that I would get a heavy period. My period hadn't returned after birth yet.

I came on yesterday. Last night I woke up having leaked all over my self and soaked my bed. I had a night time pad on and only retired 3 hours before. Today I am filling a pad every 2 hours approximately. Sometimes less. I have had to change already as I leaked everywhere. Is this normal? I have had heavy periods before but this seems worse? I am assuming it is my period returning as I am cramping. I guess I am looking for some reassurance!

Thanks for reading!

If it’s that heavy you could even speak to a pharmacist as they prescribe it too and might be able to advise (like boots or something). The MAP does cause a bleed but it’s never been that bad for me, sorry I can’t be more help
