Short cycles postpartum

I have a wonderful 19 week old DS. We had to have fertility treatment to conceive him as I don't ovulate on my own. My period returned quickly after giving birth as I struggled with breastfeeding and had to bottle feed. Now my cycle is so short. My periods are coming every 20/21 days. I feel like I am always on my period! They are also much heavier than normal. Should I be concerned? Should I just wait it out to see if my cycles rectify on their own? Any advice would be greatly appreciated x

@disneygirl2387

How are your periods now?

I'm experiencing the same

@Boysandme269 mine have improved! Still short but around 25/26 days and not as heavy! So hopefully yours will level out. DS is 10 months old now.

Thank you so much for replying @disneygirl2387

I really hope mine improve too.. Hormones and postpartrum as such a pain although the babies are of course worth it!
