Bit TMI, sorry - bleeding

It feels a bit naughty posting here as I haven't properly joined the boot camp, I hope you don't mind!

I'm 9m PP, breastfeeding and have been on the mini pill with only two or so normal bleeds in this time.

However, since starting this WOE almost 5 weeks ago I've bled constantly since.

I did this 2 years ago and can remember bleeding abnormally for a while but can't remember exactly how long for.

Anyone have any experience and is there anything I can do?

I've lost 15lb so far which is great, as when I started when DD was much younger it wouldn't shift, so I'm definitely not going to pack it in over this, it's just a really flipping annoying side effect!

It can happen with any method of weight loss due to oestrogen being released from fat cells. It will settle down over time. If you're worried that there may be some other cause then do go and see your doctor.

Sounds like a coincidence to me. 15lbs is fantastic, but I would very much doubt that it would cause this.

I had some issues with bleeding and weight loss was suspected to be the cause after much investigation (had an implant at the time) but that was after losing over 10 stone in 18 months

Into week six now and I have finally stopped bleeding!

However I've gained 3lbs this week! Sad
