My postnatal bleeding went on a long time. It lightened up but didn't stop, it became intermittent maybe about 11-12 weeks postpartum. I'm 15 weeks pp now and still get random gushes of dark brown or light pink. As recent as 10 days ago I had to change my trousers because of an unexpected gush.
My GP referred me for an ultrasound and the hospital have said I've got retained products due to a brightness they can see on the lining of my uterus. They have said because I'm not in pain and don't have a fever I can be left as I am and hopefully they will work their way out. They weren't able to reassure me and said any problems with periods go back to my GP. They didn't seem to appreciate that I don't have normal periods due to PCOS, and that as I'm breastfeeding it could still be a while before I have a period.
Has this happened to anybody else? It doesn't feel right that there are things there that shouldn't be, and that they're just being left? I have fertility issues and DD was a clomid baby. I don't know if we will try for more DC or not, but I'm worried this is going to have further detrimental effects on my ability to have anymore. WWYD, would you go back to the GP, ask for a follow up scan in a few months? Do nothing, as it's quite common and just not talked about?
