Hi there. I had a baby nearly 10 months ago. I'm still breastfeeding 2 x per day.

Period returned about a month ago and I've been bleeding pretty much constantly since. I had a 3-4 day gap of no blood but it started again a few days ago.

I've always had long heavy periods but nothing like this. Periods also irregular ie every 6-10 weeks.

Should I be concerned yet?
