Hi!
Sorry if there’s a little TMI 🙈
I had my first post birth period 12 weeks after having giving birth and it was horrendous, couldn’t leave the house for 2 days and just stayed in my pjs because it was so heavy I felt like I was wetting myself.
I’ve had 3 periods since which have just not been right. Before baby my cycles were really really regular and like clockwork. Now I have:
-mid cycle spotting
-cycles that vary between 25-35 days
-no period pain at all (which is weird because I would always get them the day before and first two days of)
-a feeling of heavy pressure in my pubic area if I squat down to pick something up or sit on the toilet, making it uncomfortable to go to the toilet.
-much lighter periods than I’ve ever had, still bright red blood but seems a bit mucasy or watery sometimes with a bit of greyish or brownish colour
- a feeling of not really feeling ‘myself’ if that makes sense.
Last month I did ovulation tests every day because I thought maybe I wasn’t ovulating, I didn’t get a positive test, only 2 days with a faint line so either I missed the surge or I didn’t ovulate.
Has anyone had anything like this? I’m still 3 stone heavier than I was before I got pregnant and would be classed as having a bmi of 29, could that have something to do with it? Wondering when I can go to the doctors and they won’t just say that my body needs time to get back to normal after birth....it has been 6 months now also worried about any implications for having another baby in the future. 🤷🏼♀️ Xx
