Withdrawal bleed

Hello.

I'm currently having a withdrawal bleed - started 5 days after egg collection. I'm on no medication as they froze all the embryos ( 3).

How long can I expect this bleed to last?

I know this may sound pathetic (and tmi) but I'm really struggling as I've been told to not use tampons and I'm bleeding heavily and pads are just not cutting it. I've bled through a pair of jeans and I'm having to wear 2 pairs of underwear for protection. The pads I'm using are for heavy flow as well.
I read online some people's withdrawal bleeds last 12 days and I 100% cant deal that 😂
How long did yours last?

Mine lasted the same time as a normal period, can you use period pants with your pad? Or use a thick tena lady incontinence pad, that's what I used after surgery which caused a lot of bleeding.

Mine lasted the same time and amount of a normal period, in my case this was very light and over within a few days.
I hope it doesn’t last too much longer for you.
